About this audio guide
This guide to Krakovo in Ljubljana follows the people who worked this old suburb for a living: the fishermen who sold their catch to nobles behind the town wall, and the women who grew vegetables on the strips behind their houses and hauled them to market before dawn. It touches the Teutonic knights who held the land, a German nickname, and a painter born on this street. Best heard on Krakovska street, where you can see both the houses and the gardens behind them.
