'''Turamichele''' ("Tower-Michael") is the name of a moving mechanical figure on the Perlach Tower (''[Perlachturm](/source/Perlachturm)'') next to Perlach church in [Augsburg](/source/Augsburg), [Bavaria](/source/Bavaria), [Germany](/source/Germany). It shows the [Archangel Michael](/source/Michael_(archangel)) fighting with the [devil](/source/devil). According to legend, the archangel Michael chased a dragon out of the Augsburg forests a long time ago.<ref>[https://www.augsburg-city.de/veranstaltungen/turamichele "Turamichele", Augsburg City]</ref> 

Every year on 29 September ([Michaelmas](/source/Michaelmas) or St. Michael's Day) the Turamichele appears in a window on the west side of the tower. The day is also marked by a big children's party.
