Lennonova zed
About
The Lennon Wall—officially Lennónova zeď—is a vibrant, ever‑changing graffiti mural that has become one of Prague’s most iconic landmarks. Rising on Velkopřevorské náměstí in the historic Malá Strana district, it was first painted in 1980 after the tragic murder of John Lennon, and has since grown into a spontaneous canvas for political expression, art and personal messages. The wall’s semi‑legal status was re‑evaluated in 2019: spray‑painting is now prohibited, yet visitors may freely write with chalk, markers and pastel chalk. The site is open to the public daily, with no entry fee, making it one of the city’s most accessible cultural attractions. Alongside the wall, a small museum—The Lennon Wall Story—now showcases photographs, artifacts and the history of this living protest art. Whether you’re a history buff, an art lover or simply seeking a free, colourful stroll through Prague’s heart, the wall offers a unique glimpse into the city’s political past and contemporary creativity.
