It's a mind-bogglingly giant metronome with an equally giant counterweight. It works. How many other pieces of public art can be said to work? Also, once you've walked through the old town, you can appreciate the great view of it from here.What's more, the Communist-era plaza surrounding the metronome, which used to support a Stalin monument instead, has now been completely taken over by skateboarders. There's something symbolic and entertaining about that transformation.
