The Hourly Spectacle at Prague’s Astronomical Clock

<p>The&nbsp;<strong>pictures show people looking at</strong>&nbsp;Orloj,&nbsp;<strong>Prague&rsquo;s Astronomical Clock</strong>, watching the&nbsp;<strong>Walk of the Apostles</strong>, the clock&rsquo;s hourly show. Prague is one of Europe&rsquo;s top five most visited cities. The clock&rsquo;s little show is one of the city&rsquo;s top sights. The Walk of the Apostles, according to any guide book, is a must-see.</p> <p>The show is so unspectacular many people believe they have missed it when they have just seen it. It lasts for 13 seconds. At it&rsquo;s climax the statue of a gold-plated cock briefly flaps its wings. Nevertheless, every hour, hundreds, sometimes thousands gather to watch. Twelve times a day. Every day of the year.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@ChrisLettner/the-hourly-spectacle-at-pragues-astronomical-clock-86d92828cea3"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
