The Beatles’ legacy has held an iconic prestige amongst musicians and music enthusiasts but in Prague, it goes a step further. John Lenon, known across the world, for the peace-loving and harmony-inducing music became the harbinger of rebellion in Prague in the 19th century. His death in 1980 effectively summoned the pacifist youth of Prague to this one commonplace wall as a form of nonviolent protest and painted graffiti championing for a free Czech from the archaic rules of the Communist party. Since then, the John Lenon Wall has excited as a vibrant symbol of peace and freedom, not only in Czech, but inclusive of the rest of the world.

Created by architects Vlado Milunic and Frank Gehry, the Dancing House of Prague draws attention because of its unique, unconventional design. The non-linear pattern of the building makes it stand out among other Baroque, Gothic, and Art Nouveau buildings along the Vltava River embankment. Built under the blessings of the then-Czech president Vaclav Havel, the building was initially named ‘Fred and Ginger’ after renowned dancers Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. This is where the structure gets its name from. The plot where the Dancing House stands is of great historical significance. The site was the location of a dilapidated house destroyed by U.S. bombings during World War II. Inside the building a hotel, a restaurant, a glass bar, and a gallery offer a 360-degree view of the Prague skyline. These are the only parts of the building open to the public, the rest is taken over by commercial establishments.

A little less than 80 years after his death, the Statue of Franz Kafka was the first commemorative tribute Prague installed to honour the city’s literary genius. Initiated by the Franz Kafka Society in the 1990s and finished by sculptor Jaroslav Rona in 2003, the bronze memorial statue stands in a small quadrangle on Dusni Street in the Jewish Quarter, the very place where Franz Kafka lived and wrote from. The statue depicts Franz Kafka seated on the shoulders of a headless figure wearing a suit, in reference to his 1912 short story ‘Description of a Struggle’ where the narrator sits atop the shoulders of an unknown ‘acquaintance’. The theme of the sculpture embodies the magical surrealism genre of the author’s work.
