Hi everyone!
If you recently visited Prague, the capital city of my beautiful homeland Czech Republic, you might have noticed that the Astronomical Clock, one of the most iconic tourist attractions of the city, was under reconstruction and was thus out of order. After more than a year and a half, however, the reconstruction works are just about to finish and the medieval clock whose origin dates back to 1410 will be unveiled to the public again on Friday, September 28.

Colloquially known just as "Orloj", the Astronomical Clock is mounted on the Old Town Hall, one of the most important buildings of the Old Town Square in the very historic center of Prague. There is a very popular show called "the apostles walk" held every hour inside of the clock with figures of the apostles and some other sculptures moving around the clock. Thousands of tourists and spectators usually gathers in front of the Old Town Hall to watch the show.
