About this audio guide
This guide to Gozsdu Court in Budapest starts with a will written in eighteen sixty-nine by a Romanian lawyer, Emanoil Gojdu, and the fortune he meant to work forever. It follows the architect Győző Czigler around nineteen hundred, when seven buildings and six courtyards rose between Király Street and Dob Street, and the shops that made the passage so busy. Best heard while you walk slowly through the courtyards, with the ground floors in view.
