Contemporary Vojvodina arose from the ruins of many empires.
Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian.
Germans settled here, Greeks, Armenians, Jews and Aromanians passed through. Hungarians, Slovaks and Ukrainians have already been here.

This is the reason why the heritage of Vojvodina is so full of beauty. Settlers from “lower countries” built more than thirty monasteries on the Fruška Gora. That's why Fruška Gora is called the second Mount Athos. All the Serbian sanctities were brought in here and this is the place where the Serbian literacy was born.

The first Serbian gymnasium opened in 1871 in Sremski Karlovci. The Matica Srpska ( the oldest cultural-scientific institution of Serbia ) was founded in 1826 and the Serbian National Theatre in 1861. The oldest literary magazine in the world the Letopis (The Chronicle), which is still being published here, was launched in 1825.

Orfelin, the etcher, Sterija, the satirist, Pupin, the scientist, Predić, the painter, the wise Isidora Sekulić all came from Vojvodina The poet Miroslav Antić is also one of the «from earth to sky» Vojvodinians. He says:

«Believe in Vojvodina, the one and only Vojvodina, in salt, in bread, in vine.»
