The Prague Astronomical Clock is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague. It 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; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months. This is an image of the astronomical dial and four of the moving figures.
