This apartment building is where the famous artist lived, and the specific place chosen to install the monument was a corner that was once very frequented by the artist himself. John Lennon.

I remind you that the name of the memorial refers to one of the most famous songs of the beatless, Strawberry Fields Forever, which was published in 1967, and which deals with the nostalgia of his early years in Liverpool.

But also, in this monument tribute to John Lennon, in the center of the mosaic you can see the word written Imagine, which reminds us of possibly the most charismatic song of Lennon.
