The biggest public square in the city, this huge expanse of paving stones was repaved and upgraded in 2011. It now has an ecological pond filled with lotus flowers and koi, a fountain that’s lit up at night, and some cool cafes around the perimeter. On the northern edge towers City Hall, which looks like a 1960s communist-style block (though not when it’s lit up with laser beams) .
Rabin Sq used to be called Malchei Israel (Kings of Israel) Sq but was renamed after the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995. On Ibn Gabirol St next to City Hall, a small memorial marks the spot where he was shot.
