Legends about the origins of the Prague Astronomical Clock are many. The most famous one, however, is that it was built by Master Hanuš
in 1410. The city councillors at that time were so delighted with the clock that they later began to fear that Master Hanuš would build one like it for another European city. Therefore one dark night they had him blinded, and thus the wondrous clock remained only in Prague.
He then broke down the clock, and no one was able to repair it for the next hundred years.
