TRNAVA, Slovakia. Hodiny na Mestskej veži


TRNAVA, Slovakia
Trojičné námestie

Hodiny na Mestskej veži [Clock of City tower]. The top of the tower (57 meters high), whose construction began in 1574. It was renovated several times, having suffered fires in 1666 and 1683, again between 1938 and 1941, and finally restored between 1997 and 1998. On top of the dome there is an image of the Virgin Mary (which was replaced by the emblem of the five-pointed star during the communist era). The clock mechanism (1729) was made by the Franz Langer workshop.
