Photographer’s Note
Astronomical Clock
The Astronomical Clock on the Old Town Hall Tower dates back to the beginning of the 15th century.
The highlight of this beautiful construction is the hourly procession of the Twelve Apostles; every hour on the hour, a small trap door opens and Christ marches out ahead of his disciples, while the skeleton of death tolls the bell to a defiant statue of a Turk.

Very nice picture of this beautiful clock. The person looking gives a sense of scale.
