VENUE

Varazdin is a charming and hospitable baroque town on the right bank of the Drava River in the north-west of Croatia, 79 km north-east of Zagreb. It has a population of over 40,000. You can visit the town's official website at http://www.varazdin.hr. The Faculty building, adjacent to the town Cathedral, used to be a monastery. The building overlooks the picturesque central square with the Town Hall, one of the historical buildings gathered around the square. The Town Hall, reconstructed in the 16th century, contains typical elements of both Gothic and Baroque architecture. A Faculty web camera enables a real-time view of Central Square (page http://www.foi.hr/vzcam/cam_f.htm).
