About the Prague Astronomical Clock

Prague Astronomical Clock

A stunning piece of medieval history, the Prague Astronomical Clock Tower is a must-visit when you’re in Czech. Legend holds that a clock artisan named Hanu designed Prague's famous astronomical clock. Hanu's eyes were believed to have been damaged with a piece of iron after the clock was made, which prevented him from replicating his work anywhere else in the world. However, in 1961 a paper was discovered crediting the creators of the clock - renowned clockmaker Mikulá of Kada and astronomer Sindel.

The clock is made up of three major parts - the main dial which represents the Sun and Moon, the sculptures of various Catholic Saints, and the famous Walk of the Apostles. The Prague Astronomical Clock is the oldest working clock in the world and attracts many visitors throughout the year.
