On the coordinates you can find two sundials on the house in the North-Eastern corner of Lesser Town Square. The one facing the square indicates L.A.T. and Italian hours, it is oriented towards the South (sundial A). The second one, at the beginning of Tomášská Street, is East facing (sundial B).
Apart from L.A.T. and Bohemian hours there is a calendar on the dial. The two sundials were discovered relatively recently, in 1994, during a complete reconstruction of the building, even though they are almost 400 years old.
