Скачать или смотреть Prague Astronomical Clock and Old Town Square

Hello viewers, Welcome back and lets go to Prague, to be more specifuc lets go and see the astronomical clock and a walk around the easter market in the old town square.

The parade of the Apostles is visible from the Old Town Square. If you want to see them better, we recommend you to buy a ticket to the Old Town Hall, where you can admire them from the tower´s chapel.

The astronomical clock was placed at the front side of the tower in 1410. At the southern part of the tower a special stone chamber was built for its mechanical part. The astronomical clock consists of different parts – such as a calendar and an astronomical desk or the mechanism of twelve apostles which sets them in motion.

During the apostles’ parade, other figures placed on the sides of the astronomical clock set in motion too. The skeleton rings, rotates an hourglass in order to show to the Turk that his lifetime is at the end. He shakes his head. The Vain Man and the Miser behave similarly.

Almost 70 metres high massive prismatic tower, dating from the 14th century, is the dominant feature of the Old Town Hall and indeed the entire square. The tower´s viewing gallery offers beautiful views of the city and be astonished by the multitude of towers, spires and domes arrayed in Prague´s diverse architecture. The Town Hall tower is the only medieval tower in Prague to be completely wheelchair accessible.

The Old Town Hall consists of a complex of several Gothic houses, gradually connected together. One of the visitor routes includes the Municipal Hall, the Old Council Hall, the Brožík Assembly Hall and the George Hall.

The old town square is the most significant square of historical Prague, it was founded in the 12th century and has been witness to many historical events. Its history dates back to the 10th century, when it served as a marketplace at the crossroads of European trade routes. We were there during the Easter weekend so the decor and celebrations were more than usual. The square is also the host to the famous Prague Christmas market.
