Actually its astronomical clocks - not just time but also the possition of the sun and planets and so.
The constructor was Mikolas z Kadane and he made it in 1410.The myth says that they ripped his eyes out to protect the "copyright" but its not verified fact.
Its really 1 of the best sighseing in Prague.
