Hello fellow steemians,

If you decide to visit Prague I have no doubt that you will want to see the Astronomical Clock located at Old Town Square. Every hour, hundreds of tourists from all around the world with cameras are gathered in front of the Old Town Hall to enjoy a fascinating mechanical performance which in the Middle Ages was considered one of the wonders of the world. The Prague Astronomical Clock, which for over 600 years has been one of the greatest treasures of the city, still amazes people with its procession of Apostles, moving statues and visualization of time like no other instrument in the world. Even though I have seen it way too many times I always stop by whenever I am in town. Nevertheless, I have never been or seen what is going on inside the clock and today I came across YouTube video from inside the tower so please do enjoy together with few pictures as well.

Amazing!! Mind blowing (one of the apostles charms snakes?). Great post!

Thanks ever so much!

Looks amazingly complicated clock. Nice. Following you for some more.

I know, right?..especially considering the clock is 607 years old....

Back in the days they knew how to make quality things which last for centuries. But know everything is made to last 5-10 years :)

Absolutely agreed! 5 to 10 years if you are lucky sometimes:(....

Wow great looking masterpiece, i should go there once in my life!

Oh, Prague is stunning.... one of the most beautiful cities in the world! Hope to see you there one day!

Lovely, such an historical feeling I get by looking at this place.

Oh yeah, it truly is.... thank you for reading....
