Ramle's Yellow Cat on his Stone

An old engraving of "Ramma" when it was small
but well fortified. Note Lidda (Lod) off to your left.

Last year in the winter I visited Ramla with a friend, A.Z., who took all the photographs you see here. ‘Why go to Ramla?’ you ask. During a 4-year course on the 3,000-year-old history of Jerusalem, I often heard Ramle mentioned, so I wanted to know more about the city that took over as the chief city and capital of the region for so many years. 

 

There are towers to climb and cisterns for row-boating. I plan to return to Ramle soon, and when I do, I will enter more into this blog entry.
