About this audio guide
This guide to the Hrvatski sabor, Croatia's parliament on St Mark's Square in Zagreb, is about the tradespeople behind it rather than the politicians. It follows Pavao Ritter Vitezović, the writer the Sabor named its printer in sixteen ninety-four, and Matija Leonhart, the local builder handed a burned lot in the seventeen-thirties. You'll hear what a parliament without a hall of its own did for a press, and what Vitezović printed up here on Grič. Best heard facing the long front of the building from the square.
