Astronomical Clock

What people say

"The Brno Astronomical Clock, located in Freedom Square, is a six-meter-tall black granite monument unveiled in 2010. Though modern in design, it commemorates the city's defense against Swedish forces in the Thirty Years' War. According to legend, Brno tricked the Swedes by ringing the noon bell an hour early, leading to their retreat. To honor this, the clock releases a glass marble daily at 11 a.m., offering visitors a chance to catch a unique souvenir. Despite its controversial design, the clock has become a quirky symbol of Brno."
