John Lennon Wall
During Communist times, this otherwise normal wall became a location for the unsanctioned expression of dissent. Standard graffiti is common in other parts of Prague, but the Lennon Wall has always been the place to express support for peace, democracy, and unity. The name comes from an image of John Lennon painted by an unknown person, along with some Beatles lyrics, shortly after John Lennon was killed in 1980. The tradition has continued since then, and socially aware messages persistently replace each other on this graffiti-allowed wall
