Perhaps the most famous building in capital is Zytgloggeturm. It is the Clock Tower built in 1218 and the cathedral constructed from 1492. Tower‘s large astronomical clock shows the position of the sun, symboled by a hand. A gold and black ball shows the phase of the moon and the angel between those two marks the lunar phase. It also shows a zodiac, season and of course hours and minutes.
There are 7 bears roundabout, wich rotating when jester is ringing his bells. Every bear symbolizes a day of the week. There are a lot of other surprises, including a lion and a rooster, that the Clock Tower has to offer.
