Cityscape
Unique in Serbia, Palić and adjacent Subotica have the most buildings built in the Hungarian Secession style, a distinct variant of Art Nouveau.[4] The Hungarian Secession style was operational between the 1890s and World War I. Its designs combined art nouveau vegetal ornaments and symbolic figures with traditional Hungarian motifs. It found its architectural expression in Palić in the works of Marcell Komor, Dezső Jakab.[5][6]

Palić Lake
The Palić lake covers an area of 380 hectares (940 acres), with a 17-kilometre (11 mi) shore line. The average depth of the lake is 2 metres (6 ft 7 in), and there are many fish in it. In 1995, the Tisa-Palić canal was opened so that the lake would remain as healthy as it was before in spite of development around the lake.[7]
