Jelisaveta Načić

She is remembered as a pioneer who inspired women to enter professions which had earlier been reserved for men.

She sought employment at the Ministry of Construction, but was unable to become an official, as there was a requirement for military service to have been completed.

The hospital she designed was destroyed during the Second World War, but many of her residential buildings from apartments to distinctive private homes, some with Art Nouveau or Neo-Renaissance elements, still stand today.

[4] During World War I, she was interned in the Nezsider (today Neusiedl am See, Austria) concentration camp in Hungary, bringing her artistic career to an end.

After the war, Načić moved to Dubrovnik with her Albanian husband, Luka Lukai, whom she had met in the camp.
