Prague Astronomical Clock-27 Seconds of Awesomeness!
The Prague astronomical clock dates from medieval times and is full of symbolic religious (and other) figures who come to life every hour on the hour. The 12 Apostles and a figure of Death are among some of these figures. According to legend, the city of Prague will suffer if the clock is neglected. This is one of the most intricate and interesting clocks in the world as you will see!

Astronomical Clock Prague
Astronomical clock (orloj) in Prague, Czech Republic, situated at the Old Town Square. Guide from sightseeing-prague.com describes how does it work. Performance - walk of 12 apostols.
CZECH REPUBLIC: PRAGUE: ORLOJ CLOCK
Czech/Nat
While the toll of midnight may potentially throw the world's clocks and computers into chaos, there is one time piece which will definitely have no problem.
The Orloj's (pronounced OR-loy) spectacular tolling of the hours on the Old Town Square in Prague is watched by thousands of tourists every day, making it one of Europe's most famous clocks.
This is the heart of ``Magic Prague,'' the Old Town Square, magnet for the nearly four million tourists who visit Prague every year.
And at the centre of the Square is the six hundred year old Orloj, the clock on the old town hall that draws the most sightseers.
Each day at the top of the hour hundreds gather beneath the clock to watch the tolling of the hour.
What is mundane on an ordinary clock is a magnificent display of medieval technology at work.
Otakar Zamecnik (OHT-ahk-ar ZAH-mech-neek) is the Orlojnik, or the keeper of the Orloj.
For nearly two decades he has been making weekly visits to the clock to make
sure it doesn't miss the hour.
He say that while the Y2K problem might throw other timepieces into a spin, the bug will definitely have no effect on the Orloj.
SOUNDBITE: (Czech)
``The year two thousand definitely can not have any affect on the Orloj because it is not run by a computer. It has been here for six hundred years and can run for six hundred more.''
SUPERCAPTION: Otakar Zamecnik, Orlojnik
It is the way it tolls the hour for the past 600 years that is so special.
What happens inside might only be of interest to the expert horologist, but from the square below, it is a spectacle to behold.
The twelve apostles each make an appearance, peeking out of two windows high above the crowd below.
And below tiny figurines move and ring bells and the golden rooster crows.
The show only lasts a few minutes, but it's a show that's been happening since the 14th century, and the crowd always seems pleased.
And while Y2K bug may potentially throw air travel into chaos and set off nuclear missiles, in Prague on New Year's Eve, the Orloj will keep on ticking...

PT// A Town Hall adquiriu seu primeiro relógio no início do século XV. O relógio indica não apenas a hora, mas também exibe o movimento do sol e da lua através dos signos do zodíaco e dos planetas ao redor da terra. Toda vez que o relógio bate a hora certa mostra a procissão dos 12 apóstolos.

The clock not only tells the time, but also display the movement of the sun and the moon through the signs of zodiac, and of the planets around the earth. Every time the clock stikes the hour shows the procession of the 12 Apostles.
市政厅在15世纪初获得了第一个时钟。 时钟不仅告诉时间，还通过黄道十二宫和地球周围的行星显示太阳和月亮的运动。 每当时钟震动时，小时就显示了12位使徒的游行。
