Old Town Square in Prague

One of the features of Old Town Square is the Astronomical Clock.    

The Town Hall acquired its first clock at the beginning of 15th century, when it was rebuilt by a master clockmaker called Hanus. He was blinded by the local councilors, in order to prevent him from making a reproduction of the clock elsewhere. It has been repaired many times over the years.  The  current mechanism of the clock was perfected by Jan Taborsky between 1552-1572.
