About this audio guide
This guide to the Trinitarian church on Zupne Square in Bratislava starts with the painted ceiling above your head and a question about what you are really looking at. It follows the Trinitarians, an order devoted to freeing Christian captives, and the Ottoman wars that shaped this spot long before they arrived. Best heard standing in the centre of the oval nave, looking straight up.
