| Description |
Sundial outside Yeni Camii, on the wall facing south west. This clock has lines that show the hours to sunset (italic), numbered from one to seven and the hours since dawn (baylonic). The round line in the middle indicates the time of the prayer Asr (afternoon daily prayer) and there is a line for zodiacal signs (In the little clouds are written the names of the signs: Capricorn, followed by Sagittarius (near to the gnomon) etc.). The clock was made around 1669 (1074 H). |
