Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv, the first modern Jewish city built in Israel, was founded in the early 20th century outside of the Old City of Jaffa, a picturesque collection of stone houses and narrow alleyways from the era of the Ottoman Empire. First settled as a neighborhood in 1909, by the 1930s, Tel Aviv’s central district (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site) contained the largest group of Bauhaus-style buildings in the world.
