Did you know that Tel Aviv is one of the largest Bauhaus art capitals of the world? Bahuas architecture was influenced by the German Bauhaus art school, one of the most prominent modernist art schools of the 20th century. Tel Aviv is known as the "White City" referring to its 4,000 Bauhaus style structures which are mostly white. These restored buildings combine industrial design and modern art and are the largest collection of Bauhaus buildings worldwide. For this reason, Tel Aviv has been designated by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site for "an outstanding example of new town planning and architecture in the early 20th century."
