Behind the high altar on the apse is an astronomical clock built in 1472 by Hans Düringer, a clockmaker from Nuremberg. It consists of three partitions - Top: Apostle-go-round giving an hourly performance of the apostles crossing before Jesus for a blessing before entry into eternal bliss, and the last, Judas, is shut out. Middle: Clock with daily time, zodiac, moon phases, and month. Bottom: Calendar, which is valid until 2017.

The Prague astronomical clock, or Prague orloj, is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague. The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still working.
The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town Hall in the Old Town Square. The clock mechanism itself is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures—notably a figure of Death (represented by a skeleton) striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months. According to local legend, the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good operation is placed in jeopardy.

The quasi-religious disney music pumping out from all around was truly a wonder to behold.

Fortunate to catch this with the clock refracted pretty full in the water drop. It goes to say there's a hundred others where I missed the drop completely!! The clock is about two feet away from the camera (and upside down so the image appears upright in the drop,the water's dropped from a small eye dropper)
