The original function of the building, history, changes

This very simple construction is situated between the Grand Terrace and Lake Palić, on the central promenade leading from the Water Tower at the spa entrance through the Grand Terrace to the lake shore. Despite being one hundred years old, the building has maintained its original form and function. Musicians used to give concerts here every morning and afternoon for the promenaders’ merriment. Famous musicians from Subotica often played here, likewise others from the whole Monarchy, making the lakeside stroll more joyful. The Music Pavilion is part of the Art Nouveau route, its inclusion in the ‘Art Nouveau European Route’ is underway.
