Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Prague astronomical clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still operating.

It is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town Hall.

The clock is composed of three main components:

1. "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures—notably a figure of Death (represented by a skeleton) striking the time.

2. A astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky.

3. A calendar dial with medallions representing the months.
