About this audio guide
This guide to TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht follows Trijn van Leemput, a brewer's wife from the Oudegracht canal, and the spring of fifteen seventy-seven, when a Spanish fortress called Vredenburg still loomed over this ground. It touches on Emperor Charles the Fifth, a six-week siege, and a city government that would not act. Stand out on the market square on a Wednesday, Friday or Saturday, when the stalls are open.
