About this audio guide
This guide to the Roman Wall at Mirje in Ljubljana looks at the southern edge of Emona, the Roman town founded here around fourteen AD, through what it was made of and what once guarded it. It follows the river, the ditches and the slope that shaped the town's defences, and the twentieth-century council that had its own plans for the last stretch. Best heard beside the broken face of the wall, where its inner core shows.
