About this audio guide
This guide to Ulica Pavla Radića, the steep old Long Street of Zagreb, follows the printers, booksellers and binders who worked along the road up to the Stone Gate. It centres on an Enlightenment bishop, Maksimilijan Vrhovac, his printing house and the relatives who kept it going in the seventeen nineties. Ljudevit Gaj and the writer Miroslav Krleža turn up along the way. Best heard while walking slowly uphill toward the gate.
