Prague Astronomical Clock

The Prague Astronomical Clock (Orloj) is a medieval astronomical clock mounted on the southern wall of Prague's Old Town Hall in the Old Town Square. It combines an astronomical dial showing the Sun and Moon, a lower calendar dial with painted month medallions, and animated figures including the hourly Walk of the Apostles and a skeleton representing Death.

The shape it held in its prime.

A large circular astronomical dial set into a weathered light-brown stone façade, with blue, black and red painted background panels and multiple concentric gilded rings and numerals; below it a round calendar plate of painted medallions in ochres and gold; carved dark Gothic stone tracery, corbels and niches frame the two dials; polychrome wooden statues stand in niches and on ledges at left and right, with small paired windows above the astronomical dial.
