The four-faced liar

Shandon's clock has four faces that do not agree.

Lees het verhaalSluiten

The tower of St Anne's Church in Shandon has a clock on each side. Because the wind and the weight of the hands affected them differently, the four faces often showed slightly different times, and the people of Cork called the clock 'the four-faced liar'. Visitors can climb the tower and play a tune on its eight bells.
