About this audio guide
This guide to the Old Town Hall in Bratislava is about its tower, raised around thirteen seventy and built to do a job for the whole medieval town, not just to look grand. It touches the clock, the moon and the bells, the earthquake and fire that reshaped the building, and the years its rooms served as a prison and a mint. Best heard on the main square with the tower in full view.
