The Lyrical Subject in a Sandcastle

Immerse yourself in the world of poet Marija Šimoković and her life in Subotica. Born and raised in this city, Marija carried Subotica with her throughout her life, transforming its streets, people, memories, and history into part of her literary world.

This audio tour takes you through places connected to her life and work, revealing Subotica from the poet’s perspective — a city that was not only the place where she grew up, but also an important part of her identity and creative work.

The walking tour takes approximately 45 minutes.
