Rabin Square, Public square in Tel Aviv, Israel
Rabin Square is a large public square in the center of Tel Aviv, Israel. It is a wide, paved plaza surrounded by city streets and buildings, with a memorial and a reflecting pool.
The square was designed in the 1960s along with the city hall and was originally called Kings of Israel Square. It was renamed in 1995 after the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, which happened there.
The square is named after Yitzhak Rabin, and a memorial marks the spot where he was assassinated. Every year, people gather here for a memorial rally, and the nearby walls still show some of the graffiti left by young mourners.
The square is easy to reach on foot or by public transport, and it is open at all times. Visit in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat, and wear comfortable shoes for walking on the paved surface.
The large triangular monument in the square is a Holocaust memorial designed by Igael Tumarkin. It stands on a low base and is made of rusty iron and glass, and it is actually an inverted pyramid balanced on its tip.
