On March, 15th of 1939, the whole Prague castle was on alert. Everybody was expecting the arrival of Adolf Hitler. Some were expecting Adolf Hitler, the “savior”. However, the Czechs were dreading to open the doors to Adolf Hitler, the devil, the predator, or simply the thief who stole their nation, their identity, their lives and their hearts.

The famous Lennon Wall has been one of the most iconic and yet unlikely visited places to see while in Prague. Named after the legendary musician and singer John Lennon of the Beatles band, this wall has been continuously painted over and over again by people who loved and admired the work of John Lennon.

In 1980, year of John Lennon’s death, fans started painting this wall as a sign of protest against war and violence. You can still see some of the work from these artists who truly admired him, but nowadays the wall is just too degraded with random graffitis and scrambled words painted along the wall. However, it still is a very cool place to visit in Prague!
