      The Prague Astronomical Clock, also known as the Prague Astronomical Clock or Orloj, is one of Prague's most fascinating historical landmarks and a masterpiece of medieval engineering and art. First installed in 1410, it is one of the oldest functioning astronomical clocks in the world.

      The clock not only tells the time but also displays astronomical information such as the positions of the sun and moon in the sky, the phases of the moon, and the position of the zodiac.

      Every hour on the hour, a captivating spectacle unfolds: the twelve figures of the Apostles pass by small windows, while other figures—such as Death (a skeleton)—move.
