The Old Town Hall Tower has proudly stood in the middle of the square Smetanovo náměstí for six centuries. But it is not the only thing that reminds passers-by of the transience of time, there is also an Art nouveau astronomical clock that was mounted on the tower in 1907.
The Litomyšl astronomical clock displays the model of the universe, as seen by our ancestors. In the center there is the Earth around which the Sun, the Moon and the universe revolve, symbolized by the twelve signs of the zodiac. On the hands, which show solar time, there is a golden sun, thanks to which you even know which zodiac we are currently in. The rafi of the month then shows which sign and phase the Moon is currently in.
