About Rabin memorial - Rabin Square

The Yitzhak Rabin memorial marks the place in Tel Aviv where Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated at the end of a peace rally on 4 November 1995. Designed by Claude Grundman-Brightman, it is made of sixteen basalt stones brought from the Golan Heights, meant to symbolise Rabin's bond with the land; the stones were carved by sculptor Yael Artzi, and the surrounding compound was designed by David Tartakover. The memorial was unveiled on 1 November 1996. Ceremonies in Rabin's memory, including one on the anniversary of his death, are held beside it.

What's inside

The memorial stands at the north-east corner of Rabin Square, formerly Kings of Israel Square, below Tel Aviv City Hall. The square is bounded by City Hall to the north, Ibn Gabirol Street to the east, Malkhey Yisrael Street to the south and Hen Boulevard to the west. A segment of the graffiti drawn on nearby walls by the young mourners known as the Candles Youth has been preserved. Near the south end of the square is a Holocaust memorial sculpture by Igael Tumarkin, and an ecological water pool with a deck was added beside it in 2010.
