This image depicts the Prague Astronomical Clock (Orloj) on the Old Town Hall in Old Town Square, Prague, Czechia, illuminated at night. The facade is constructed from light-colored stone blocks with ornate gothic carvings. The clock consists of two primary circular dials. The upper, larger Astronomical Dial features a multi-layered design with a dark outer ring, golden Roman numerals, an inner ring displaying zodiac symbols, and various pointers against segments representing day (light blue), twilight (red), and night (black). Above this dial, within a gabled archway, two arched windows with blue star-patterned glass flank a seated stone figure, with a small golden statuette positioned centrally above them. Figures flank the Astronomical Dial: on the left, a figure playing a lute stands beside another figure in brown attire; on the right, a skeletal figure (Death) holding a bell stands next to a figure in green clothing (Turk). The lower, smaller Calendar Dial is golden, featuring a central emblem of Prague's Old Town surrounded by twelve medallions depicting the months and zodiac signs. This dial is encircled by intricate dark stone carvings. Figures flank the Calendar Dial: on the left, a winged angel with a sword and shield stands beside a figure in brown; on the right, a figure holding a telescope or scroll stands next to a figure holding an open book. The entire visible section of the clock and its surrounding architecture is brightly illuminated, highlighting the details against the dark background.
