The Jewish Town Hall (Židovská Radnice): in Josefov, Prague, an 18th century Rococo building, is the center of the local Jewish community. It is perhaps best known for its two clocks, one on a tower with Roman numeral markings, the other, lower, with Hebrew numbers and hands that turn counterclockwise, just as Hebrew reads from right to left.
