Olomouc Astronomical Clock, Astronomical clock on the northern wall of Town Hall in Olomouc, Czech Republic
The clock features two large dials displaying earthly measurements and celestial bodies, including a detailed star map and planetary positions tracking system.
During World War II in 1945, the original clock suffered artillery damage, leading to a complete reconstruction in 1955 under the socialist realism style.
The clock incorporates local folk songs through its carillon and displays mosaic decorations depicting regional traditions such as the Ride of the Kings.
Visitors can observe the daily performance at noon when a brass rooster crows and mechanical figures representing different workers parade through the windows.
This clock stands as one of the few heliocentric astronomical clocks in existence, showing planetary movements according to the Copernican model.
