History and description edit

The building housing Elena Gjika (Dora d'Istria) Elementary School is at the intersection of Zenel Salihu and Emin Duraku Streets at the edge of Prishtina's old city center. Built at the turn of the 20th century in the Vienna Secession architectural style, the school features a mix of square and arched windows that is unusual in the city. Although the overall structure and the front façade preserved, side windows have been renovated with newer plastic and the roof has been repaired.[2]
