Hey guys :)
My uncle was traveling and he sent my dad a post card from Czech republic, and the picture was that amazing astronomical clock and I was like "OMFG I need to make a post about it" The clock was first installed in 1410, and it was made by clockmaker Mikuláš of Kadaň and Jan Šindel, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still working. It's mounted on the southern wall of Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square. The clock mechanism itself is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures—notably a figure of Death (represented by a skeleton) striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months.
That's it, I'm going out now
Bye people :B
