About this audio guide
This guide to Stora Saluhallen, the Market Hall on Kungstorget in Gothenburg, follows the young architect Hans Hedlund and his eighteen-eighties vision of a building made only of stone, iron and glass. It touches the scramble for stalls when the hall first opened and the traders who spent their working lives under his roof. Stand in the central aisle beneath the iron arches to hear it.
