Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

August 22, 2024

The monumental geometric sculpture by the sculptor Zdenek Šimek (1927-1970) on Malé náměstí dates from 1969/1970. Šimek worked on sundials in the last two years of his life and was advised by the Prague astronomer Pavle Příhoda. The Prachatice sundial was not completed until after the artist's death. The dial blocks are made of Zbuzan marble, the pointer is made of Vračan limestone. The lines for the hours from 6 to 11 a.m. are shown on a common block, the hours from 12 to 6 p.m. on separate blocks.
