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).
