About this audio guide
This guide to Plečnik's Trnovo bridge in Ljubljana starts not on the bridge but in a house around the corner, in the mid-1920s, where the architect Jože Plečnik lived and worked and where his brother kept a piano. It follows how a man who spent his last three decades on this street reshaped the old crossing over the Gradaščica stream. Best heard standing among the birches, facing Trnovo Church.
