About this audio guide
This guide to the Church of Saints Primus and Felician above Jamnik, near Lake Bled, starts with a puzzle in its dates: a paper trail that begins in fifteen hundred and one, and a painted Gothic room around the altar. It follows the builders who reshaped the church in layers, and the centuries of Turkish raids when this bare ridge between Kropa and Podblica had a job to do. Best heard on the grass outside, facing the Alps.
