White mosque, Mosque in Ramla, Israel
The White Mosque features a square minaret rising 27 meters high with five distinct stories decorated with window niches throughout its structure.
Construction of the White Mosque started under Umayyad governor Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik in 715 CE and reached completion under Umar II in 720 CE.
The mosque contains three large underground water cisterns beneath its central courtyard, which served the needs of worshippers throughout its history.
Current visitors can observe the remaining minaret, known as the Tower of the Forty Martyrs, which stands as the main surviving structure of this historical site.
The original mosque was constructed using white marble with cypress and cedar wood doors, surpassing the architectural features of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus.
