Short info: Suburbium is a small baroque town, and a part of The Lower Fortress of Petrovaradin. Petrovaradin Fortress is comprised of an Upper and Lower Fortress. The Upper Fortress comprises a network of underground passages and galleries totalling 16 km in length. The Lower Fortress – the Wasserstadt – is where the officers’ residences, town government, hospital, old arsenal, barracks and other public buildings were situated. Beneath the Fortress is the Catholic parish Church of St George (the one on the photo), while the Orthodox church is in the town. Suburbium was built between 1692 and 1768. People still live here, but the city is planing a reconstruction of the whole Suburbium into a museum quarter.

C&C are more than welcome. Thanks.
