Rabin Square, Tel Aviv

Rabin Square is a popular tourist destination in Tel Aviv. This Square is located on Ibn Gabirol to the south of City Hall. Previously known as the Kings of Israel Square, it was renamed Rabin Square when Yitzhak Rabin, Prime Minister was murdered here in a rally on November 4th, 1995.

To the south of the square, you can find the monument of Holocaust and rebirth sculpted by Yigal Tumarkin. Made of glass and rusty metal, this monument is in the shape of an inverted pyramid.

A monument in memory of Yitzhak Rabin is found on the north-east corner of the square. All the main rallies of the city are held here including the Independence Day celebrations, open electoral rallies, concerts and demonstrations.

To the north of this square lies the City Hall building designed by Menachem Cohen, the famous architect. You can find Frischmann Street to the south of the square and Ibn Gabirol Street to the north. Hen Boulevard designed by architects Alexandroni and Yaski in 1964 lies to the west of Rabin Square.
