About this audio guide
This guide to Karmelitermarkt in Vienna traces how a market first recorded in 1671, on land once held by Carmelite monks, outlived the monastery that gave it its name. You'll hear how the neighborhood that grew up in its place became Vienna's Jewish quarter, nicknamed Mazzesinsel after the matzo sold in its bakeries. Listen for the kosher butchers and bakeries still wedged between flower stands and coffee counters today.
