About this audio guide
This guide to Obor Market in Bucharest starts with a stone cross that the market's own traders paid for in the eighteen seventies, and asks why merchants would buy a monument. It reaches back to the Outer Fair, where the city bought its grain, livestock and firewood, and to an Italian court secretary who wrote down what else stood here. Best heard among the stalls by the old modernist hall.
