Prague's astronomical clock
The astronomical clock of Prague's town hall was built in 1410 by royal clockmaker Mikulas of Kadan and the rector of Prague University Master Jan Sindel. This was the first time in Central Europe that such a large astronomical clock was placed on the facade of a secular building. Fitted with an astronomical dial, it was enhanced with a calendar dial at the end of the 15th century by Jan Ruze.

The clock consists of three parts built in vertical succession: the procession of the apostles and a round disc with allegorical portrayals of the twelve months of the year.
