History

The most important event that occurred in this building is declaration of Serbian Vojvodina from a balcony by Josif Rajačić in May 1848, known in Serbia as May Assembly, during European Revolutions of 1848. In this building the temporary government of Serbian Vojvodina was organized and was called The Main National Council. The first capital of Serbian Vojvodina was in Sremski Karlovci, so city hall was also the Serbian Vojvodina main government building.

Now in City hall is administration, including town council and police.
