Graz - the capital of Styria and the second largest city of Austria lies in the south-east of the country on the river Mur. The clock tower located on the Schlossberg castle hill is one of the landmarks of Graz due to its distinctive architectural features. The Uhrturm clock tower is a bit unusual as the clock's hands have opposite roles to the common notion, with the larger one marking hours while the smaller one, mounted later, is for minutes. The building is 28 meters high, it is surrounded by a rose garden, from which there are panoramic views of the neighborhood.
