Founders Monument

Tel Aviv


On the south end of Rothschild Blvd is this monument and fountain that commemorates the 66 families who won the lottery for Tel Aviv's founding plots. Their names are inscribed on one side of the monument; the other features a bronze relief by artist Aharon Priver that depicts, in three layers, the various stages of urban development over time.
