About this landmark
Dominating the central King Peter I Karađorđević City Square, the City Assembly building is the most striking symbol of Bijeljina. This representative example of Austro-Hungarian architecture draws attention with its richly decorated facades and imposing entrance, while in front of it stretches the harmony of the fountain and the square, shaped by the 1956 urban plan.
Over the decades, its walls housed the City Café, the library, and the registry office, while today it serves as the administrative center and the mayor’s office. For visitors, the building is not only the seat of government but also an important tourist site that, through occasional exhibitions and cultural events, preserves the historical spirit of Semberija. Every detail of this building tells the story of the town’s development.
