The Astronomical Clock
Why here
Six centuries of clockwork: gilded dials of sun, moon and zodiac, and on the hour a parade of apostles in little windows above a packed square.
Gilded dials of sun, moon and zodiac, six centuries deep.

⊘ The hourly 'walk of the apostles' underwhelms many; the square is mobbed — climb the tower for the rooftop view instead.
