This is the Prague Astronomical Clock, also called the Prague Orloj, on the Old Town Hall in Prague, Czech Republic.

It is a medieval astronomical clock that shows more than regular time. The dial includes:

* Old Czech time / medieval timekeeping
* Position of the Sun and Moon
* Zodiac signs
* Day/night phases
* Astronomical cycles

The small figures around it are part of its famous hourly show, where animated statues move and the “Apostles” appear above the clock. It is one of Prague’s most iconic landmarks.
