Timeless Engineering

The Prague Astronomical Clock, also known as the "Orloj," is the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still in operation. It has been ticking since its installation in 1410. One fascinating feature is its unique astronomical dial, which shows the positions of the sun and moon, as well as various astronomical details. Additionally, the clock's intricate mechanical figures perform a show known as the "Walk of the Apostles" every hour, captivating spectators with its medieval charm and precision engineering.

It is situated in the historic Old Town (Staré Město) district, surrounded by colorful buildings, churches, and landmarks. The square is a central hub for tourism and cultural events, making it easily accessible to visitors exploring Prague's charming streets.
