The Lennon´s wall• John Lennon died in December

1980 and that year people of Prague decided to use one wall of the Maltézská zahrada as his symbolic grave

• before 1980 this wall was called Wailing wall because there were many poems about love and communism written by students and young artists

• now there are many paintings, grafittis and parts of lyrics by The Beatles

• during the totality the wall was often washed but in a few weeks many pictures had been drawn again

Transmitter of Žižkov• it´s one of the biggest dominants of

Prague – when you´re driving on the edge of the city the transmitter is visible from afar

• it was built between 1985 and 1992• many people thought it´s really ugly so

famous czech artist Martin Černý (that Černý who created the Entropa which made angry almost half of the European Union) ,,stuck“ on it statues of Babies climbing on the top of the building

• this transmitter stays in section called ,,Žižkov“ and it is useful as a outlook tower too

? BACK TO MAIN MENU

Palace of Lucerna• complex of buildings which is

located near the Wenceslas Square

• it was built between 1907 and 1921 – it was supposed to be an ice-hockey stadium but fortunatelly it was too small for it (Can you imagine to have an ice-hockey stadium in the center of Prague?)

• There are many shops, cafés, cinema and mainly a beautiful social hall where we had a school prom

• If you ask anyone about Lucerna I´m sure he tells you only the best things about it – especially our parents because there is a ,,breath of nostalgia“ for them

? BACK TO MAIN MENU

Stromovka

• I don´t know how to translate the czech word ,,Stromovka“ in English. It means something like ,,park with many trees“.

• it´s a czech ,,Central Park“ if you know what I mean – people of Prague use it for doing sport, taking their dogs for a walk or just hanging out in nature

• there are many roads for bikes or in-line skaters and if you´re lucky you can see police on horseback guarding your

safety
