RE: Prague/Czech Republic - Wednesday photo challenge - share your personal pictures from your visit to the Czech Republic!
One of such very memorable sights is the Old Town Square.
The famous Astral chiming clock is on the south side of the tower, near them there is always a large number of tourists. There are several reasons. Vo-the first, on their own, they are very beautiful and unique. The Orloy's chimes show the zodiacal location of the Moon and the Sun and three hourly measurements: the Arabic numerals show the Old Bohemian time, the Roman numerals indicate the Central European time, the planetary time is separately displayed.
Secondly, every hour there is a real representation, the clock comes to life, the figures begin to move. Better to see once than hear a hundred times.
That entrance is just something else! Love it.
