ORLOY / orloj

praski zegar astronomiczny, zwany tez praskim orlojem powstal w 1410 roku, jest jednym z trzech najstarszych na swiecie zegarow astronomicznych, jedynym dzialajacym do dzis. miesci sie na wiezy staromestska radnice. o kazdej pelnej godzinie nad zegarem przesuwaja sie figury 12 apostolow, trebacz gra hejnal. mysle ze spokojnie moge powiedziec ze to wlasnie tutaj ciagna najwieksze tlumy turystow, kierowane przez przewodnikow wycieczek od zamku i mostu karola

prague astronomical clock, also known as prague orloy (orloj) was first built in 1410. it is third oldest astronomical clock in the world, the only one which still works. every hour, there are figures of 12 apostles appearing over the clock and the trumpeter plays a short melody. i am pretty sure, orloy is one of the crowdiest places in prague, with all the tourists waiting for the apostles to apprear. i think it is a third crowdiest attraction in prague, after the castle and charles bridge
