About this audio guide
This guide to the Serbian Orthodox Church of the Transfiguration on Zagreb's Flower Square starts at a café table, with the Saturday-morning ritual locals call špica. It reaches back to a medieval Saint Margaret fair held on this spot and to the Orthodox merchants who came north from the Ottoman world in the eighteenth century. You'll meet a mixed congregation of Greeks, Aromanians and Serbs, and the architect Franjo Klein. Best heard from the flower stalls, facing the bell tower.
