The clock was built by the Master Mikulas of Kadan and was mounted in the lower part of the Old Town Hall Tower(Prague) at the beginning of the 15 th century. Every hour the charming Procession of Apostles appears with eloquent allegories ,attracting the surprised attention of tourists who crowd round in the attractive little square below..

I love that clock and I am happy, you posted it. Very good capture of it. I tried it last time, but failed ... On the right side, I can see the sky and now, that it was really not the best weather. But at least the clock made a great pic.

Saw this in the VB and was fascinated! I've never seen this - you've presented it very well with excellent clarity. Great job!

An interesting old clock reminds me of one inside Wells Cathedral.
Nice 1
