| The Gros Horloge in Rouen, France, is a magnificent Renaissance astronomical clock set in a richly decorated archway spanning the bustling Rue du Gros-Horloge. Dating back to the 14th century, its golden sun motif, detailed engravings, and single-hand time display reflect both artistic mastery and scientific precision. The clock also tracks lunar phases, making it a blend of history, craftsmanship, and celestial observation. |
