1 Best Sight in Carinthia and Graz, Austria

Uhrturm

This landmark, dating back to the 16th century, is the symbol of Graz. The clock has four giant faces that might at first confuse you—until you realize that the big hands tell the hour and the small hands the minutes. The clock was designed with only hour hands---smaller minute hands were added later. Nearby, notice a statue of a watchdog—he is said to represent a dog who once saved the daughter of an emperor from being kidnapped by a slighted lover.
