About this audio guide
This guide to the Dom Tower in Utrecht begins with words printed in Amsterdam in sixteen seventy-four, and with a summer evening when a storm swept across the Netherlands. It reaches back to Willibrord, the missionary who brought Saint Martin to this ground, and to the medieval churches that ring the cathedral in the shape of a cross. Best heard standing on the square with your back to the tower, looking down at the paving.
