Focus on Prague astronomical clock and explain the Calendar.
The calendar plate below the clock was replaced by a copy in 1880. The original made by Josef Mánes is stored in the Prague City Museum. On the edge of the circle is a church calendar with fixed holidays and the names of 365 saints. The board displays allegories of the months. Smaller images represent zodiac signs.
Next to the calendar stands a philosopher, archangel Michael pointing at the top of the dial, an astronomer and a chronicler.
