Material and immaterial regeneration of the historic building Lazareti

The best-practice film Croatia, Dubrovnik – Material and immaterial regeneration of the historic building Lazareti refers to the regeneration of the first in the world quarantine station built in the early 16^th century, located just outside the old city walls. It was originally built to isolate the ill and prevent plagues from entering the city via people on the ships entering its port. In the 19^th century the Lazareti complex declined in importance and was used for various purposes until 1970s. The unstable political situation in Croatia caused a further deterioration of the buildings. The urban regeneration initiative helped to restore its former glory, this time as a vibrant cultural center.
