About this audio guide
This guide to Ljubljana Castle follows the people whose job was to watch the rooftops for fire: the fire watchmen who lived in the tower and the city pipers who kept the post before them. It moves from red cloth and lamps to bells and cannon fire, across the nineteenth century and into the early twentieth. Best heard at the foot of the viewing tower, before you start the climb.
