John Lennon wall

Czech republic, Prague
For several decades, the fence of the Maltese Garden in Prague has been a city landmark. The tradition of painting a wall in honor of musician and former Beatle member John Lennon began in the 1980s. Before the independence of the Czech Republic, the "Lennon Wall", as the musician's fans called it, was one of the symbols of anti-communist views of the Czechs. Initially, poetic inscriptions eventually changed to political ones. And although in Soviet times, graffiti was regularly painted over by local authorities, after 1989 the "Lennon Wall" ceased to be perceived as an act of vandalism, moreover, it acquired the status of a cultural value. At the same time, the tradition of expressing one's views on the wall has been preserved to this day.

Lennon's Wall is a fence of the Maltese Garden in Prague's Mala Strana district. Since the 1970s, there has been a tradition of painting and painting the wall with pictures in honor of musician John Lennon. The wall is considered one of the symbols of the struggle for freedom and against the communist regime.
