About this audio guide
The guide to Krvavi Most Street in Zagreb opens on 17 November 1667, when records first call this crossing the Bloody Bridge. You'll hear about Kaptol, the bishop's town, and Gradec, the free royal town, and the Medveščak creek that ran between them. Along the way it asks just how bloody the name really was. Best heard standing in the middle of the lane, where you can look toward both ends.
