Lennon Wall
Shortly after the assassination of singer John Lennon in 1980, this stone wall, located across from the French embassy, was converted into an impromptu memorial with a painting of the singer's face, candles, and song lyrics from The Beatles. Soon, political graffiti criticising the totalitarian regime began to appear. Despite the authorities' countless attempts to whitewash the wall, they never truly managed to keep it clean for long.
Today, the Lennon Wall is an endless tribute to the freedom movement. It has lots of graffiti, drawings, and messages, and anyone who comes here is free to leave their contribution. This is also a great spot for photos.
