Pinsteps. Rabin Square

Itzhak Rabin Square, previously called "The Square of the Kings of Israel" - the area in the center of Tel Aviv. Named in 1995 in honor of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was killed on this square on November 4, 1995.

On the north side of the square is the Tel Aviv City Hall building, on the east the square is bordered by Ibn Gabirol Street, on the south by Frishman Street, and from the west by Bialik Boulevard. The layout of the square was developed in 1964 by architects Yasky and Alexandroni. The modern architecture of the square and its surrounding structures corresponds to the construction of an altar for sacrifices (a canal for blood flow in the structure of the sculpture and zodiac symbols framed by square lanterns), which hints at the sacrificial nature of Rabin’s death for the sake of peace in the region. November 4, 1995, during a rally on the square, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was killed. After his death, thousands of Israelis came to the square to honor Rabin’s memory and lit candles. At the site of the death of Rabin (in the northeast corner of the square, near the city hall) a monument was erected. Closer to the southern tip of the square, a memorial is set to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust by sculptor Igal Tumarkin.
