About this audio guide

This guide to Phu Cam Cathedral in Hue follows the tradespeople who spent decades building it, work that began in nineteen sixty-three and was repeatedly interrupted by a coup, the nineteen sixty-eight Tet Offensive, and years of postwar hardship. You will hear about the marble carvers of Non Nuoc village near Da Nang who shaped its altar, and about the bell towers that took over thirty years to finish. Best heard standing in front of the facade, looking up at the towers.
