About this audio guide
This guide to Congress Square in Ljubljana follows the Holy Trinity column in front of the Ursuline Church, a plague vow first raised in wood in sixteen ninety-three on a different street. It moves between a Carniolan prince, two Baroque sculptors, a family of stonemasons and the tram lines of the nineteen twenties. Best heard at the foot of the church steps, facing the column.
