About this audio guide
This guide to the Medieval City Walls of Bratislava starts with a puzzle about the stone in front of you, then goes back to the fourteen twenties, when Hussite rebels from Bohemia kept marching on the town then called Pressburg. It follows their commander Prokop the Great, the burning of the suburbs, and a new idea hatched in nearby Trnava in fourteen thirty-two. Best heard on Staromestská, facing the battlements near St. Martin's Cathedral.
