@galopelomundo: One of Prague’s most magical traditions happens every hour in the heart of the Old Town. 🇨🇿✨ The Prague Astronomical Clock, known as the Orloj, has been marking time since 1410 — making it one of the oldest astronomical clocks in the world still in operation. When the hour strikes, the clock comes alive. ☀️🕰️ The small windows above the dial open and the Twelve Apostles slowly pass by, one after another, while symbolic figures move below. Death, represented by a skeleton, rings a bell — a reminder that time eventually comes for everyone. Vanity looks into a mirror, Greed holds his money bag, and another figure traditionally represents earthly pleasures and distractions. Then comes the final sound of the hour, and the show ends — just as it has for centuries. More than a clock, the Orloj is a medieval message about time, life and mortality… right in the center of Prague. ❤️🇨🇿 #Prague #AstronomicalClock #CzechRepublic
