Introduction to the self-ringing clock tower: The Old Town Hall Bell Tower (Czech: Prague Orloj, English: Astronomical Clock) is another landmark building on the square. The clock tower was first built in 1410 and is famous for its exquisite and unique self-ringing bells. Every hour on the hour, the windows and doors on the clock will open automatically, the bells will ring in unison, and 12 icons will appear in the window one by one like a revolving lantern, bowing to people. This complex and wonderful chiming clock was built by a fitter in the mid-15th century using hammers, pliers, files and other tools. It still keeps accurate time and has become a treasure for people to admire.
