Pod sloganom “Moj dan u Novom Sadu” portal Glas Nacije vam otkriva šta bi trebalo posetiti prilikom dolaska u Novi Sad. Crkva imena Marijinog poznata i kao “katedrala”nalazi se u samom centru grada i predstavlja najveću crkvu u tom gradu. Crkva je sagrađena u 18. veku, te je tokom narednih godina pretrpela više razaranja. Katolički vernici su posle bombardovanja 1849. godine, kada je uništena crkva dali inicijativu za rekonstrukciju iste i podizanje novog tornja.
Za plan obnove zdanja bio je zadužen čuveni arhitekta Georg Molnar, koji nije tražio naknadu za odrađen posao, zbog čega mu je crkva i podigla bistu. Tokom požara 1904. godine ponovo je oštećena, ali ovog puta samo krov. Na jednom od četiri oltara nalazi se slika Majke Božije. Unutrašnja rezbarija urađena je u neogotskom stilu, dok prozorske vitraže krasi Žolnai keramika. Plato ispred crkve omiljeno je mesto druženja i okupljanja Novosađana i posetilaca grada. Mnogobrojne manifestacije i gradski događaji održavaju se na ovom prostoru, a za turiste koji dolaze u Novi Sad, katedrala i centralni plato neizostavan su deo turističke posete gradu.
My day in Novi Sad: Church of the Name of Mary
Under the slogan "My day in Novi Sad", the Glas Nacije portal reveals what you should visit when you arrive in Novi Sad. The church named after Mary, also known as the "cathedral", is located in the very center of the city and is the largest church in that city. The church was built in the 18th centur, and suffered several destructions in the following years. After the bombing in 1849, when the church was destroyed, Catholic believers took the initiative to reconstruct it and build a new tower. The famous architect Georg Molnar was in charge of the plan for the renovation of the building, who did not ask for compensation for the work done, which is why the church erected a bust for him. During the fire in 1904, it was damaged again, but this time only the roof. On one of the four altars is a picture of the Mother of God. The interior carving is done in the neo- Gothic style, while the stained glass windows are decorated with Žolnai ceramics. The plateau in front of the church is a favorite place for socializing and gathering of Novi Sad residents and visitors. Numerous manifestations and city events are held in this area, and for tourists who come to Novi Sad, the cathedral and the central plateau are an indispensable part of a tourist visit to the city.
