Zytturm, Zug, Clock tower in central Zug, Switzerland.
The Zytturm rises 52 meters above Kolinplatz square, featuring an astronomical clock on its eastern facade and painted decorations on its walls.
Built in the 13th century, the tower received modifications between 1478 and 1480, with its current structure completed in 1557 and last renovated in 1952.
The astronomical clock, installed in 1574, displays calendar information through four hands indicating days, lunar phases, zodiac signs, and leap years.
Visitors can access the tower during regular hours to observe the mechanical clock system and view the surrounding Alps from the observation platform.
The eastern wall exhibits the coats of arms of the Old Eight Cantons, representing the members of the Swiss Confederacy from 1353 to 1481.
