Overview
The Astronomical Tower stands as a historic centerpiece of the Clementinum courtyards, completed in 1722. Standing 68 metres tall, it is crowned by a striking 600 kg lead statue of Atlas carrying a celestial sphere, crafted by the workshop of Matyáš Bernard Braun in 1723. Visitors who climb the 172 steps are rewarded with a panoramic view of central Prague from a circular balcony located 52 metres above the ground. Beyond the view, the tower serves as an archive of scientific progress, having hosted early astronomical observations and the site of a continuous meteorological data collection that began in 1775. Guided tours allow guests to see the original period instruments that helped researchers like Josef Stepling and Antonín Strnad track weather events and celestial movements, providing a direct link to the intellectual life of the former Jesuit college.
