SUBOTICA

Explore SUBOTICA

Subotica is located in the northwestern part of the Republic of Serbia, along the main European corridors and between two rivers: the Danube and the Tisa. This city is distinguished by its rich cultural heritage assets, lavishly decorated buildings, multicultural spirit, and European charm. Subotica is known for its laidback atmosphere, delicious food, and high-quality wines.

All year long, our city has festivals, events, concerts, and a vibrant cultural life. Furthermore, Subotica has a variety of interesting places for rest and recreation, including activities on horse farms, farmsteads, forests, and hunting grounds. Subotica was first mentioned in written documents as Zabatka in 1391. It has undergone over 200 name changes since then. Szent-Maria, Maria Theresia Polis, Maria Theresienstadt, Szabadka, and Subotica were the most distinctive names. Following the Tatar conquest at the beginning of the 13th century, it grew in importance. The survivors from the nearby villages were then gathered at the strategically chosen location, an elevated plateau surrounded by water, on which the Franciscan church now stands. It was the ideal location for the plains people to defend themselves against the conquerors.

Subotica was long located on the border of two rival powers, Hungarian and Turkish. Subotica only became a town after it had lost its military significance. Subotica was granted the status of Free Royal City in 1779, which granted the town greater autonomy and privileges while also attracting entrepreneurs: craftsmen and traders from the Middle Europe.

After the railway arrived in town in the second half of the nineteenth century (1869), the trade of agricultural and cattle goods boomed. At the end of the nineteenth century, the town experienced industrialization. Subotica evolved into a modern Middle European city.
