Laravel routes do not work at all

My laravel routes are not working at all. I tried something like this:

Route::get('welcome', function () {
    return View::make('welcome');
});

Accessing it with localhost/project/project/public/welcome works fine. I have tried it in many ways but seems like routes aren't working since localhost/welcome show me 404 error. I know there is simillar topic but there is no answer for me. Could somebody help me out please?

My htaccess file looks like this (I have never touched it):

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
