White City (Bauhaus)
העיר הלבנה
A UNESCO World Heritage site. The city center preserves about 4,000 white Bauhaus and International Style buildings from the 1930s, more than anywhere else in the world.
The White City is a modernist architectural ensemble inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2003. Most of its buildings were constructed between the 1930s and 1950s by Jewish architects who fled Nazi Germany. Their features include white or light-colored facades, long horizontal windows, curved balconies, and open ground floors on pilotis. The highlights are concentrated around Rothschild Boulevard, Dizengoff Square, and Bialik Street. At the Bauhaus Center (77 Dizengoff Street), you can join an English walking tour on Fridays, or follow a map to explore on your own for about 2 hours. Most of the buildings along the way are private homes, so please do not enter them without permission.
