John Lennon Wall, Sofia, Bulgaria


Situated at the corner of Patriarch Evtimii and Graf Ignatiev streets in downtown Sofia the John Lennon wall was painted by Bulgarian high school students during the Communist Era as a sign of protest against the regime.

Here are some of my pictures (taken in 2012) of the wall which features a lot of different bands (like The Doors) and the statue of John Lennon which was unveiled to mark 30yrs since his death:
