A well-known peace wall that bears the name of a non-traveler

Prague is beautiful, and it appears that the residents have done so. The John Lennon Wall is a vibrant graffiti wall covered in inscriptions and peace-promoting lyrics from well-known Beatles songs. An intriguing Prague tidbit is the connection between the city and the late Beatles. A solitary image of John Lennon's face and some words were painted on the wall by an unidentified artist. Despite never having been there, Lennon rose to fame as a pacifist symbol among young Czechs following his 1980 assassination, and both visitors and residents are welcome to visit and leave their writing on the wall, eternally leaving their stamp on the community.

The original image of John Lennon is long gone behind fresh coats of paint since the wall is constantly changing. Even after officials repainted the wall, the next day it was once more covered in poetry and flowers. Today, the wall stands as a representation of universal values like love and peace. The Sovereign Military Order of Malta owns the wall and permitted the graffiti. But in 2014, a mist of white paint covered the wall, erasing the words of peace that had been written on it over many years. Students painted the wall to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution in the Czech Republic, but graffiti with messages of hope and peace quickly covered it once again. In Mala Strana, situated between Charles Bridge and Kampa Park across from the French Embassy, is where you can discover Lennon Wall.
