John Lennon Wall | Street Art and Graffiti Wall in Prague

Located across from the French Embassy, the John Lennon Wall was first adorned with love poems and political messages in the 1960s. After John Lennon’s assassination in 1980, the wall filled with a variety of messages, drawings, and vibrant graffiti. This distinctive wall belongs to the Order of Malta.

During the communist rule in Czechoslovakia, John Lennon’s music and his message of peace resonated strongly with the young population striving for freedom and change. Despite repeated attempts by the government and authorities to paint over the wall, the graffiti persisted, becoming a symbol of rebellion and freedom.

The John Lennon Wall has evolved into a cultural and social phenomenon, attracting people from around the world. The diversity of messages, drawings, and colors on the wall reflects not only admiration for John Lennon but also a desire for peace, freedom, and creative expression. Nowadays, the wall is not just a place to remember the legendary musician but also a living artwork continually shaped by visitors and artists from all over the world.
