About this audio guide
This guide to the Triple Bridge in Ljubljana starts in nineteen twenty-nine, with the architect Jože Plečnik facing a stone crossing that had become a choke point in the heart of the city. It reaches back to a medieval wooden bridge and an Austrian archduke's name carved in Latin, and follows Plečnik's taste for Venice into a Central European capital. Best heard at the Prešeren Square end, looking across the river.
