The Prague Astronomical Clock, also known as the Staroměstský orloj, is located in the Czech Republic. It is considered a notable attraction and part of the cultural heritage of the Czech Republic, although the specifics of that designation are disputed. Records suggest the clock’s inception dates back to around 1410.
The clock is situated in Prague 1, potentially within the Old Town, and is associated with the Old Town Square and Old Town Hall. It functions as a clock and is accessible to visitors.
While the clock’s creators are debated, possible figures include Mikuláš of Kadaň and Jan Šindel. It has reportedly experienced periods of destruction throughout its history.
Accessibility information indicates wheelchair access is available. The clock is generally open to the public from 9:00 to 22:00, with slightly later opening hours on Mondays.
