About this audio guide
This guide to the DNA Tower in Perth's Kings Park opens with the double staircase under your hand, built in nineteen sixty-six after a much older design inside the Chateau de Blois in France. From there it follows that French staircase's own history, into the rivalry between King Henry the Third and Henri, Duke of Guise, during the wars of religion of the fifteen eighties. Stand at the base of the tower and look up before you start the climb.
