Auditory Identity

Narrow alleys, small squares, passageways, and arcades, along with stone surfaces, define the soundscape of the Old Town, giving it the characteristic fundamental sound of the Middle Ages (stone). The space is shaped primarily by the many tourists and the associated infrastructure (restaurants, cafés, souvenir shops, stores) and is located in a car-free area of the city center. The medieval architecture and irregularly laid-out streets give the space a strong auditory identity.
