1The sundial in the town square, dated to the 17th century, still accurately indicates the time on sunny days.
2During the Renaissance, sundials were a common feature of gardens and courtyards, symbolising the harmony between nature and human ingenuity.
3The invention of mechanical clocks gradually made sundials obsolete, but they remain an important part of our cultural heritage.
4In ancient Egypt, sundials were used to divide the day into two periods: morning and afternoon, with the shadow of the vertical stick indicating the passage of time.
5The sundial on the church tower, though worn by time and weather, still bears the inscription 'Tempus fugit, hora non' – Time flees, the hour does not.
