Dizengoff Square (Template:Lang-he, Kikar Dizengoff, fully Zina Dizengoff Square, Template:Lang-he) is a public square in Tel Aviv, on the corner of Dizengoff Street, Reines Street and Pinsker Street. It is a circular plaza and Tel Aviv focal point since its establishment in the 1930s,[1] and is located in the very heart of Tel Aviv.[2]
It is named for the wife of Tel Aviv's first mayor, Meir Dizengoff. It is located 300 meters from the Dizengoff Center. Its original 1930s design, called "the Étoile of Tel Aviv," was altered in the 1970s when it was covered with an elevated pedestrian plaza above Dizengoff Street near the intersection of Pinsker Street and Zamenhoff Street.[2] There are proposals however to return Dizengoff Square to its original state.[2]
