In this episode, we take you through the stories, streets, and centuries that shaped Aarhus. In today’s episode, we journey into the heart of the old town to uncover how two historic squares, Stor Torv and Lille Torv, helped transform a modest medieval settlement into a thriving centre of trade.For centuries, these squares weren’t just meeting places; they were thelifeline of commerce, where farmers, merchants, and craftspeople gathered, shaping the city’s map, its economy, and its identity. From the towering presence of Aarhus Cathedral to the buzzing markets, from Viking fords and river crossings to the growth of the harbour and railway, Aarhus evolved through layers of trade, movement, and human activity.
