A Cathedral With a Meridian Line

Palermo Cathedral has a brass meridian line set into its floor, installed in 1801, with a hole in the dome that drops a disc of sunlight onto it at solar noon. Before standardised time, this was how the city set its clocks.

The clock: Palermo now keeps UTC+1 like the rest of Italy, though at 13° east its true solar noon arrives around 12:08 in winter — the meridian line and the clock have not agreed since 1893.
