About this audio guide
This guide to the Bogoslovno semenišče, the theological seminary in Ljubljana, starts at its carved stone doorway and the Baroque craftsmen behind it in the early seventeen hundreds. It follows a stonemason's workshop, a Venetian sculptor who married into it, and a circle of local scholars who pledged their books to the city. Best heard standing on Dolničarjeva ulica, facing the portal.
