Buildings in Valjevo -
Beauties or Eyesores

Valjevo Grammar School
By Smiljana Nedic

FrontValjevska Gimnazija (the Grammar School of Valjevo) is a beautiful old building in the center of the town. It was built in the past century and since then it has become one of the best schools of secondary education. It is built in the style of the 19th century, with ornaments and sculptures on its walls. It is close to the old part of the town, and, looking from the main street, it completely fits in the environment.

If you, however, look at it from the schoolyard I'm sure you won't recognize that it is the same building. You will see a modern building made of glass and metal with an ugly metal door and reflective glass windows.

I haven't heard many opinions about our school, maybe because people are not interested, but I think they were told:" It is very modern and expensive building and it will show that we follow new trends in architecture..." Anyway, a beautiful building is spoilt just because of our obsession to be modern.
