Uhrturm
The icon of Graz on castle hill, this clock tower, or the Uhrturm was spared from destruction by the Napoleonic forces in 1809 after the people of Graz paid a ransom for its preservation. Note that the clock's hands have opposite roles, where the larger one marks the hour while the smaller marks the minutes. All around the tower are beautiful gardens and spectacular views of the old city.
