Prague Astronomical Clock (Prague Orloj)

The Prague Astronomical Clock, also known as the Prague Orloj, is a magnificent historical landmark located on the Old Town Hall in Prague. Dating back to the 15th century, this intricate clock is a testament to medieval craftsmanship and astronomical knowledge. The clock's face is adorned with statues of various saints and celestial bodies, while its mechanisms display the movements of the sun, moon, and stars. As the clock strikes the hour, the Twelve Apostles parade across the clock face, accompanied by Death and Vanity, reminding visitors of the fleeting nature of human life.
