Architecture of Roman Catholic Churches in Vojvodina from 1699 to 1939; Dubravka Ðukanović

Abstract
This ample monograph presents a comprehensive synthesis of a years-long research into Roman Catholic religious architecture of Vojvodina (a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional north region of Serbia) as a melting pot of Orthodox, Catholic, Evangelical, and Jewish religious building traditions. Owing to the fact that just few medieval church remains still exist and no new Christian churches were built during the Ottoman period, the predominant religious buildings in the region are churches built from the late 17th century until the Second World War in Baroque, Classicist, and Historicist style including few Secessionist and Modernist examples. The author of the book and the architect, Dubravka Ðukanović, Ph.D., analyzed 250 churches from the liturgical, stylistic, and typological perspective searching for Central European influences and the origins of some architectural forms and spatial arrangements. The chronological and typological tables offering a well laid-out graphic synthesis of the main chapters make this book exceptionally valuable.
