The 'Prague Astronomical Clock'

This medieval astronomical clock is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square.

The clock gives the time of day, the months and seasons of the year, the signs of the zodiac, the course of the sun and the holidays of the Christian calendar. On the hour, every hour there is great excitement from the crowds in the Old Town Square as the figure of death rings a bell, the twelve Apostles appear and a cock crows.

I must admit that as beautiul as the clock is, I wasn't quite as excited as others seemed! See what you think.
