@luciaceeThe Prague Astronomical Clock, often called the Orloj, is a stunning medieval installation on the Old Town Hall in the Czech Republic. Built in 1410, it is the third-oldest astronomical clock globally and the oldest that still runs. https://t.co/QOYXicUbGY

The Prague Astronomical Clock dominates the stone facade of the Old Town Hall. Two large dials sit one above the other, the upper showing Roman numerals and astronomical rings with gold hands, the lower featuring a golden calendar wheel ringed by zodiac signs and months. Small painted statues of apostles and figures stand in niches on either side, while a winged angel with a sword appears on the lower left. The surrounding stonework includes carved gargoyles, small windows with blue fleur-de-lis panes, and a crest on the right wall.
