Lennon Wall

Located within Prague is a graffiti filled wall that has grown more and more famous over the past few decades. This wall is named and dedicated to the famous musician, John Lennon. The Lennon Wall is full of artwork inspired by either Beatles' songs or Lennon quotes and lyrics. The wall is constantly changing and people are now allowed to alter it in whatever way they wish. This was not always the case however. Back in the late 1980's what Prague was still under communist control, the authorities were irritated by this wall and the types of messages that were being written on it, so much so that there were clashes between students and police. The regime of the time did not like the ideas of love and peace to be on display for public viewing.
