Tel Aviv among 10 best cities for architecture lovers
A leading travel magazine has ranked Tel Aviv as one of the world's 10 best cities for architecture lovers.
"Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Tel Aviv's “White City” contains 4,000 International Style buildings, many of which were built in the 1930s and 1940s," CondeNast's website noted.
"To accommodate the influx of Jewish immigrants fleeing Europe, German Bauhaus-trained architects integrated the modern style's affordable and functional building techniques with curved lines and a color well-suited for the Mediterranean climate to create a habitable city by the sea."
Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai said in response to the latest honor, "The founders of Tel Aviv entrusted us with a large treasure of 4,000 Bauhaus and international style buildings. Thanks to them we were able to apply for and be recognized as a world heritage site. This move entailed great effort and the conservation process is ongoing."
