Zytglogge – the heart of Bern

The Zytglogge is a medieval clock tower in Bern and one of the symbols of the Swiss capital. Its astronomical clock has a mechanism dating from 1530 and for almost five centuries has shown not only the time but also the position of the Sun, the Moon and the signs of the zodiac.
