About this audio guide
This guide to Tkalčićeva Street in Zagreb begins with a sculpted woman framed in a window, and the sculptor who put her there in nineteen ninety-one. It reaches back to the years around nineteen hundred, when a city rulebook, permits from City Hall and coloured lanterns shaped life on this lane. You will hear about the Golden Kuna and By the Green Lantern, and the women who worked behind opaque glass. Best heard on the terraces, looking up at the windows.
