Hotels near Prague Astronomical Clock, Prague

Mounted on the southern façade of Prague’s Old Town Hall, this 600-year-old timepiece is a true architectural treasure. Ornate Gothic sculptures flank the Astronomical Clock, with a vaulted arch protecting its gilded dials. The clock face shows the positions of the sun, moon and stars, while the figure of Death strikes the hour – a signal for the 12 apostles to parade around the tower.
