Gan Avraham, Public garden in Ramat Gan, Israel.
Gan Avraham is a public garden in Ramat Gan featuring natural limestone hills and an open amphitheater carved into the landscape. The amphitheater's design takes advantage of the terrain, with the surrounding slopes forming natural seating areas.
The garden was designed in 1936 by architect Gideon Sarig, with the amphitheater completed between 1939 and 1940. This makes it one of the city's earliest public green spaces from the mid-20th century.
The amphitheater here serves as a venue for concerts, theater performances, and community events that draw people from the surrounding neighborhoods. Its open setting makes performances feel connected to the natural landscape rather than confined indoors.
The garden is easily accessible on foot with open pathways throughout the hillside accessible to visitors of different abilities. The natural setting makes a visit pleasant at any time of day, especially during the cooler morning or evening hours.
The amphitheater follows ancient Greek design principles with natural hillsides serving as the backdrop instead of constructed walls. This approach creates a rare blend of classical theater design and the surrounding landscape that feels both timeless and site-specific.
