We got to see the famous astronomical clock strike the hour one day. The twelve apostles move around as the hour strikes. A (live) trumpter also played a fanfare from the top of the clock tower. I read more about the clock after seeing it, but still can’t quite figure out how to read it. This animation shows the movements of the different dials.
Is that the clock whose designer had his eyes gouged out by the king after it was built so he could never build another? That's one of the more gruesome stories I remember from Prague.
