About this audio guide
This guide to Gornji trg, the Upper Square in Ljubljana's old town, starts in September 1660, as a great fire runs through this street and the one below it. It follows what the townspeople chose to build afterwards, and the saints and images they turned to for protection over the following generations. Listen from the lane just below St. Florian's Church, where you can see its front.
