Clock, Palazzo della Ragione, Padua, Italy
Clock, with time referring to zodiac corresponding to the position of the sun, on the wall of the Salone of the Palazzo della Ragione, built 1218-1306, in Padua, Veneto, Italy. The building was previously the city hall, market and law courts and contained frescoes attributed to Giotto which were destroyed in 1420. The walls now display a fresco cycle based on astrological studies by Pietro d'Abano, 1425-40, by Niccolo Miretto and Stefano de Ferrare. The palace forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
