Pod sloganom “Moj dan u Novom Sadu” portal Glas Nacije vam otkriva šta bi trebalo posetiti prilikom dolaska u Novi Sad. Gradska kuća u Novom Sadu predstavlja sedište gradonačelnika Novog Sada, odakle se nešto više od 100 godina upravlja gradom. Prvi Magistrat nastao je 1748. godine i nalazio se na današnjem mestu Gradske kuće, a bio je smešten u iznajmljenoj kući mesara i gradskog senatora. Magistrat se selio nekoliko puta po celom gradu, sve do 1895. godine kada je sagrađena Gradska kuća.
Iako je bilo problema za vreme gradnje oko izbora lokacije, jer su Svetozar Miletić i katolici imali drugačije viđenje najbolje lokacije za ovakav objekat, ipak su pobedili katolici i Gradska kuća je izgrađena na Glavnom trgu. Visoki toranj sa balkonom od 1907. godine ukrašavao je i krst „Matilda“ koji je služio za obaveštavanje od požara. Ovo zdanje je služilo i za organizovanje balova. Iako nema više zvona, Gradska kuča i dalje privlači poglede kako Novosađana, tako i turista svojom lepotom. Danas se ne organizuju više balovi, nego služi samo za boravak gradske Vlade i njene administracije.
My day in Novi Sad: City Hall
Under the slogan "My day in Novi Sad", the Glas Nacije portal reveals what you should visit when you arrive in Novi Sad. The City Hall in Novi Sad is the seat of the Mayor of Novi Sad, from where the city has been managed for a little over 100 years. The first Magistrate was established in 1748 and was located on the present site of the City Hall, and was housed in a rented house of a butcher and a city senator. The magistrate moved several times throughout the city, until 1895 when the City Hall was built. Although there were problems during the construction around the choice of location because Svetozar Miletić and the Catholics had a different view of the best location for such a facility, the Catholics still won and the City Hall was built on the Main Square. The high tower with a balcony from 1907 was decorated with the cross "Matilda", which was used for fire notification. This building was also used for organizing balls. Although there are no more bells, the City Hall still attracts the eyes of both Novi Sad residents and tourists with its beauty. Today, more balls are not organized, but only serves for the stay of the city government and its administration.
