Prague Astronomical Clock

Located in the heart of old town Prague, the Astronomical Clock is a stunning display of old century craftsmanship. Ranging from the folk-art attached to its exterior, to its strikingly intricate inner-mechanisms and many ornaments, this clock is one of the city’s most recognisable sights and a symbol of the city’s history. Standing over 6 meters high, it has both an astronomical dial and a calendar dial, with three main components - the astronomical dial, the clock dial and figure of Death astride the clock. This clock has been central to the history of Prague and is a must-see for any tourist looking to explore old town.
