About Florentin

Florentin is a neighbourhood in southern Tel Aviv, named after Solomon Florentine, a Jew from Thessaloniki who bought the land in 1924; its growth was spurred by the nearby Jaffa–Jerusalem railway. First settled mainly by poor Jewish immigrants from North Africa, Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece, it declined into a slum by the 1960s. Since the 1990s and 2000s lower rents have drawn younger residents and artists, and the area is now associated with a bohemian lifestyle.

What's inside

Florentin today has many artists' workshops, cafes, restaurants and markets, and graffiti tours run through its streets. It is still also an industrial zone and garment district, where Jewish and Arab wholesalers trade clothing and furniture. The neighbourhood contains Washington Boulevard, Tel Aviv's shortest street, and the historic Ahavat Chesed synagogue. A TV series named after the neighbourhood, Florentin, was broadcast between 1997 and 2001.
