A Calendar With Surprises

“The calendar was a mathematical progression with arbitrary surprises.”

(From "The Towers of Silence" by Paul Scott)

 

This is the fabulous Astronomical Calendar which is on the bell tower of the 12th century Cathedral standing at Piazza Duomo in Messina (Sicily).

This incredible machine takes life every day at noon and tells the story of the city.
