With two conference halls, 145 bedrooms, a cinema, sports hall and a bomb shelter capable of withstanding atomic power among its facilities, Political School Josip Broz Tito was one of the best-equipped schools for political learning in all Yugoslavia. With the onslaught of the Yugoslav Wars in 1991, the facility was shut down. After a brief spell as a military academy, the building was used to house internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Vukovar, a city in eastern Croatia which was heavily damaged during the conflict, before eventually falling into a complete state of abandonment.
