Columbia Audio Tour: Sanctuary Stories and Historic City Walks
In the shadow of soaring marble spires and paint-brushed columns, Columbia hides stories that rattle its very foundations. This self-guided audio tour winds through the heart of the city, revealing secrets most strolls miss. Listen close and find the truth behind quiet stained glass, bold sculptures, and steepled towers that have seen centuries grind by. Whose boldstand in the cathedral shook city politics to its core? What whispered legend travels the echoing halls of the Columbia Museum of Art? Which unsuspecting sidewalk hides footprints from a scandal entwined with church and state? Move from hushed sanctuary to vibrant gallery, through whispers of rebellion, and beneath forgotten stained ceilings. Each step brings a new angle, uncovering Columbia’s tangled past and the pulse beneath its polished surface. Begin the journey. The city’s secrets are waiting just beyond the next column.
