Signs of Zodiac - Sundial - Sezimovo Ústí, Czech Republic - Signs of Zodiac on Waymarking.com

One of the highlights in the city is the unusual sundial. The sundial called Time Patrolman stand out with their original and uncommon design.

A vertical indicator (gnomon) made of metal is part of the horizontal sundial located at an elevation of 421.34 meters above sea level. The sundial displays the time corresponding to the local meridian position at N 49°22.67', E 14°42.03'. In its right hand, the sculpture holds an unconventional pointer (nodus) – a granite sphere with a diameter of 20 cm, representing a model of the Earth. The sundial has been indicating true solar time since 2005 and, in addition to the time, it depicts calendar information such as solstices and equinoxes. It is worth noting that the dial of the sundial, marked on the cobblestone pavement and complemented by small granite blocks and forged discs, is one of the largest dials in the Czech Republic, measuring 20×21 meters. The sculpture holds the indicator at a height of 390 cm.

At the base of Patrolman's feet, there are two embedded metal plates. One plate describes the technical parameters of the sundial, and the other plate depicts the astrological placements of the Zodiac signs during different periods of the year.
