Ramla, Commercial center in central Israel.

Located between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Ramla stands at the intersection of major roads connecting northern and southern Israel at 80 meters elevation.

The city was founded in 716 by Caliph Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik as the administrative capital of Palestine, replacing the nearby city of Lod.

The White Tower, a 27-meter minaret from the 13th century, remains a central structure alongside the Pool of Arches, an underground water reservoir.

The railway station, established in 1891, provides hourly connections to Tel Aviv, Beit Shemesh, and Jerusalem through Israel Railways services.

The British military cemetery contains the grave of a World War I soldier named Harry Potter who died during the Arab revolt against British forces.
