Lod, Ancient settlement in Central District, Israel
The city lies 15 kilometers southeast of Tel Aviv, spreading across the Plain of Sharon with residential neighborhoods and industrial zones at 65 meters elevation.
Lod became a Roman colony called Diospolis in 200 CE, functioning as a center for Jewish scholars and merchants until the Roman conquest in 70 CE.
The Church of Saint George and the Mosque of Al-Khadr represent the religious diversity of Lod, reflecting both Christian and Islamic architectural traditions.
Ben Gurion International Airport operates 8 kilometers north of Lod, making the city a central transportation hub with extensive railway connections across Israel.
A Roman mosaic discovered in Lod reveals detailed patterns of marine life, wild animals, and geometric designs from the third century CE.
