Czech Staroměstská radnice
The third oldest astronomical clock in Europe. Built probably around 1410 and enhanced in the following centuries. Every hour of daylight, the clock gives a show that includes passing of 12 apostles and death ringing the bell. A major tourist attraction. At the height of the season hundreds of tourists gather at peak hours of the day to watch the old machinery in action.
