Unable to load css files in codeigniter 3

I have the CI installation configured in my apache conf and hosts files such that I can open it by pointing my browser to:

http://mysite/

Above URL will open the index file configured and everything works fine.

Now in this CI installation I added a CSS file at:

application/assets/css/site.css

And in my config file I added:

$config['base_url'] = 'http://mysite/';

If I do an echo $base_url() I get http://mysite/ so it works fine.

Now to load the css file I do $siteCss = base_url('assets/css/site.css')

This shows me http://mysite/assets/css/site.css as expected, but if I open that URL in browser it gives 404 error.

In my .htaccess I have added a few lines to remove index.php from the URL:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

How can I correctly load my css files in this setup?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Put your assets directory in project root directory and this is best practice. so your site.css path should be 

assets/css/site.css

instead of 

application/assets/css/site.css

and now test. Now $siteCss = base_url('assets/css/site.css') will work
