About this audio guide
This audio guide to Stari trg, Ljubljana's oldest market square, goes back to a Sunday afternoon in fifteen forty-seven, when the town's young people gathered to dance in the shade of a linden tree and one reckless girl kept turning her partners away. Along the way you'll meet the chronicler who wrote the tale down and the national poet who turned it into a ballad. Best heard by the Hercules fountain, where the square opens out.
