About this audio guide
This audio guide to DOMunder, beneath the Domplein in Utrecht, is about the cathedral that once filled the square and the summer evening in sixteen seventy-four when a storm swept over the city. Along the way it reaches back to the missionary Willibrord, a Gothic building project that ran out of money, and the Roman fort of Trajectum. Start on the square itself and watch the coloured lines in the paving before you head underground.
