These 11 markets are featured on VoiceMap tours around the world, and people have been haggling in some of them for over a thousand years.

Kathmandu's Asan Bazaar has been trading spices, cloth, and beads at the crossroads of two ancient trade routes for roughly 1,700 years. Kraków's Cloth Hall burned to the ground in the 1500s, got a Renaissance facelift, and its ground floor still operates as a market today. And in 1676 alone, an estimated 230,000 cattle and 1.5 million sheep were driven through London's Smithfield Market, which has been trading meat since at least the 10th century.

In 1934, a thief walked out of Ghent's cathedral with two panels cut from one of the greatest paintings in Western art. One came back a few weeks later; the other has never been found.

Derek Blyth's new VoiceMap tour retraces the whole case. You'll see the Bishop's Palace letterbox where the ransom letters were dropped, and the wells detectives have dug up since, chasing the missing panel. One paranormal investigator even exhumed a stockbroker's skull looking for a clue. 🎧

These 7 buildings are featured on VoiceMap tours around the world – all still standing today by sheer luck.

The Eiffel Tower was scheduled for dismantling in 1909. It survived only because a radio antenna installed on top three years earlier proved too valuable to lose. Tbilisi's Lace House survived a 1940 demolition order for one reason: the family living there included Stalin's own physician. New Zealand's Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge was quietly retired instead of torn down in 1963 – a decision that later made it the birthplace of the world's first commercial bungy jump.
