The picture shows the striking tower clock of the Black Church, Biserica Neagr, in Brasov, Brasov, Romania. The city's landmark is home to an ornate clock face that combines both religious symbols and a Latin inscription. Characterised by the four evangelists, the clock face is surrounded by the four canonical evangelists, each depicted with their traditional symbols: Matthew (man/angel), Mark (lion), Luke (bull) and John (eagle)
