Well .. I have been there, and I can assure you that really makes an impression.
Perhaps, it's not such a good show from the aesthetic point of view, there is much confusion and mixed colors, but when you're there you feel a strange sensation and you feel full of energy!
feeling of wanting to leave one, albeit small and insignificant, evidence of you! You feel a Freedom Writer
Some information about this wall ...
The Lennon Wall is located in Prague. Originally it was just a wall of the city, but suddenly since the early 80's became a symbol of peace and freedom for the people, especially young people who began to fill with graffiti and drawings inspired by John Lennon as well as quotations from Beatle songs. The communist regime then in power in the country, obviously did not like the presence of the wall which had soon become a fundamental point of riferimeto in terms of political and social environment for young people of Prague, which continues to fill with words and drawings which soon company did those young people from all over the world coming to Prague felt almost obliged to visit the wall which had meanwhile also become a sought after tourist destination. The wall takes its name from the fact that after his death, John Lennon was a pacifist hero for young Czechs and soon his portrait was painted on the wall along with words of his songs. In 1988 the communist regime led by Gustav Husak tried to discredit the significance of the wall and its supporters, first by defining "Lennoniani" the followers of the pacifist movement Czech deemed violent, alcoholics, and psychopaths "champions of capitalism," and repainting several times, measure proved quite useless since every time that the wall was whitewashed, it was quickly covered with new writing and new designs. Today the wall is a universally recognized symbol of peace, love and brotherhood. The wall is owned by the Knights of Malta that still allow it to be painted and wrote and is located in Velkopřevorské náměstí (square of the Grand Priory) in the Mala Strana the Lesser Town in Prague.
