About this audio guide
This guide to St. Mark's Church in Zagreb starts on the saint's feast day in twelve fifty-six, when the hilltop town of Gradec held its new right to a yearly fair. It follows the money and the patronage around the church: King Béla the Fourth's charter, a queen's gift, and the craftsmen's guilds that met here. Stand in the open square facing the tiled roof as you listen.
