About this audio guide
This guide to Zagreb Cathedral on Kaptol follows one April afternoon in twenty twenty, weeks after an earthquake left the north spire twisted above the square. It is a story about the people who do the work up there: army engineers, climbers, contractors, a crane operator waiting on the wind, and the stonemasons who came after. Listen from the square in front of the main portal, with the towers in view.
