About this audio guide
This guide to the King Tomislav monument on Trg Kralja Tomislava in Zagreb is about the bronze horseman itself: what it was made from, how a statue this size was cast, and the long years between the foundry and the square. You'll meet the sculptor Robert Frangeš Mihanović, a Yugoslav king with metal to spare, and a city conservator with very strong opinions. Best heard on the square with your back to the park and the station doors in front of you.
