About this audio guide
This guide to Ventúrska, a narrow lane in Bratislava's Old Town, follows money: who made it here, who stamped their names on it, and how archaeologists worked out where the workshop stood. It reaches from Celtic moneyers of the first century before Christ to a fifteenth-century town mint and the wealthy family whose name the street still carries. Best heard outside the Pálffy Palace.
