Prague Astronomical Clock

The Old Town Hall is located on the Old Town Square and was established in 1338 as the seat of the Old Town administration. The complex consists of 5 buildings. The dominant part of the building is a Gothic tower and a unique astronomical clock, where every hour between 9:00 AM and 11:00 PM, the twelve apostles rotate. The Old Town Hall tower is the oldest town hall tower in the Czech Republic and at the time of its construction, it used to be the tallest structure in the city. Today it offers a breathtaking view of the Prague's historical centre. From the top of the tower, you can see the landmarks of the Old Town Square, admire the panorama of the Prague Castle in the distance, or be carried away by the view of dozens of towers, turrets and domes of Prague's diverse architecture.
