Dubrovnik is an old city on the Adriatic Sea coast in the extreme south of Croatia. It is one of the most prominent tourist resorts of the Mediterranean, a seaport and the center of the Dubrovnik-Neretva county. Its population was 43,770 in 2001. Dubrovnik is nicknamed "Pearl of the Adriatic" and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dubrovnik enjoys a pleasant Mediterranean climate that sees many sunny days, even during winter. Generally the winters are quite mild with average days fluctuating between 10°C (50°F) and 5°C (41°F), and minimal rainfall occuring on around half the days of the winter months. Summers are drier, with average temperatures hovering just below 30°C (86°F). My design starts here------such a beautiful place. The project is a primary school.
