About this audio guide
This guide to Mirogoj cemetery in Zagreb starts with the sound of the place and traces it back to Ljudevit Gaj, the nineteenth-century linguist who once owned this hillside and laid roads across it. It follows the city's search for a new burial ground, the trees planted along those roads, and the arcades Hermann Bollé began beside the entrance. Best heard on one of the tree-lined avenues, within sight of the ivy-covered arcades.
