I like this clock a lot. Unfortunatelly, I don't know the name of the building. Someone can help with this?
Return to the Western world! We spend three weeks in Croatia, and sample the joys of Central Europe by the Adriatic Sea.
Zagreb is thoroughly modern and beautiful, with a livelier local crowd, fresh markets, and more hidden gems than Prague or Budapest. The Plitvice Lakes are one of the most awesome national parks we have visited so far. And Dubrovnik is like stepping back into the 1400s, all rocky hillside, stone streets, towering city walls, and Mediterranean blue sea. We would love to come back here.

Yes it is huge and the pendulum does swing, although the clock hands dont go around. The time was set by hand to correspond with the time of day it was meant to be during filming

The Prague astronomical clock, or Prague orloj (Czech: Pražský orloj [praʃskiː orloj]), is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.
The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still operating.
The Old Town Hall was established as a symbol of the town self-administration under the rule of King John of Luxembourg in 1338. A corner tower house in the Old Town Square became the seat of the town council. On the occasion of its alteration for the purposes of the town council house, a monumental prismatic quadrilateral tower was built on the place of an older tower, in the second half of the 14th century. The tower stands 69.5 metres high and also fulfilled the function of the town watch-tower.
In 1410, the astronomical clock was mounted on the south side of the tower, but it was not completed until later. The oldest part of the clock is the central astronomical-astrological part, based on the geocentric conception of the motions of the planets and it represents the common form of telling the time from that period.

An upright shrub with dark green leaves and an abundant display of trumpet shaped purple flowers with yellow throats. It can be grown as a bush with weeping branches or it can be trained like a vine. It is not always easy to come by in the nursery. The flowers are absolutely wonderful and it seems to bloom from early spring until late summer or fall.
