Prague Astronomical Clock highlights

Details of the Astronomical Clock

The clock dial

The astronomical dial is the heart of the clock, showcasing how art and science can work in perfect harmony. It tracks Central European, Babylonian, and Old Bohemian times while also displaying the movement of the sun, moon, and zodiac constellations. This medieval dial was a functional tool for tracking celestial events and agricultural cycles, making it a rare example of 15th-century ingenuity.

Calendar Plate of Prague Astronomical Clock, Czech Republic

The calendar plate

Created in 1866 by Czech artist Josef Mánes, the calendar plate sits below the astronomical dial. It features richly detailed medallions representing the months of the year through rural scenes, zodiac signs, and saintly feast days. The plate is a fascinating combination of practical use and artistic expression of medieval Bohemia.

Prague Astronomical Clock tower viewpoint

Climb the clock tower to enjoy sweeping views of Prague's Old Town. From the top, you'll see the city's famous red rooftops, towering Gothic spires, and the vibrant Old Town Square below.
