History

Its old name was Jovanovski Kraj. It was named after a church dedicated to Sveti Jovan (Saint Jovan) that existed in the area until 1921 (the church was built in 1700 and was the oldest church in Novi Sad. It was burned in the 1848/49 revolution, but was rebuilt in 1853. In 1921, the church was razed).

The current name, Rotkvarija, derived from the fact that inhabitants of the neighborhood in the past were engaged in radish production (radish is known as "rotkva" in Serbian, hence the name). The third name of the neighborhood, Žitni Trg ("the grain marketplace" in English), derived from the grain market that existed here in the past.

Features

Some of the important features of Rotkvarija are: Futoška pijaca (Futog Market), Reformer-Calvinist Church (built in 1865), and Slovak-Evangelist Church (built in 1886).
