About this audio guide
This guide to Dolac Market in Zagreb is about the ground beneath the red umbrellas, and what it took to make it. It follows a crowded medieval hillside of wooden houses, the owners the city bought out, and the workers who dug into Dolac Hill in the late nineteen-twenties and found something the town had forgotten. Along the way it asks why a fish market built in nineteen thirty-six was given only six years to live. Best heard at the top of the steps from Ban Jelačić Square.
