The polyhedral sundial represents the height of knowledge of gnomonics, the science of the sundial. Since it has different sides, these are not illuminated at the same time. As the sun moves, it illuminates the sides depending on the time of the day and this way it can be seen from different angles. This polyhedral sundial is a true replica of the one created by Stefano Buonsignori in the 16th century, which is located in the Institute and Museum of Science in Florence. The sundial has eighteen hexagonal sides of which seventeen correspond to solar quadrants with different orientations and inclinations. A compass in the top enables correct alignment.
