Great Mosque of Ramla, Mosque and minor basilica in Ramla, Israel
The Great Mosque of Ramla contains three parallel halls with a central nave and two transepts, creating a layout that follows classical basilica design.
The structure began as a Christian church in the 12th century and transformed into a mosque during the Mamluk Sultanate rule in 1266 under Sultan Baybars.
The mosque incorporates both Islamic and Christian architectural elements, including a mihrab indicating the direction of Mecca and an eastern wall niche facing Nazareth.
Visitors can access the mosque from Sunday through Thursday between 8:00 AM and 11:30 AM in summer or 10:30 AM in winter with an entrance fee of 7 NIS.
The structure stands as one of the few complete Crusader buildings in Israel, featuring a tomb of local saint Shihav ed Din within its courtyard.
