St. Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea Church, Catholic monastery and church in Ramla, Israel
The church features a square bell tower and contains a notable painting on the altar attributed to Titian, donated by Madrid in 1846.
The Franciscan organization acquired the land in 1396 and built a monastery to serve pilgrims traveling between Jaffa and Jerusalem.
The church honors Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, two figures who removed Jesus from the cross and prepared his body for burial.
The Terra Santa School operates within the monastery complex as part of a network of educational institutions throughout Israel.
Napoleon Bonaparte reportedly stayed in the monastery's hospice during his 1799 campaign and fired shots at a muezzin for disturbing his sleep.
