About this audio guide
This guide to Zagreb's main railway station starts with the building Ferenc Pfaff designed for the Hungarian State Railways, opened in eighteen ninety-two on empty land south of the town. It then moves to October nineteen sixty-four, when the Sava rose higher than anyone had recorded and poured into the suburbs of Trešnjevka and Trnje. Best heard on the station forecourt, facing north up the park.
