Asset Overview

The White Mosque (Hebrew: המסגד הלבן‎‎ haMisgad haLavan, Arabic: المسجد الأبيض‎‎ a-Masjid al-Abyad) is an ancient Ummayad mosque in the city of Ramla, Israel. Only the minaret is still standing. According to localIsrael tradition, the northwest section of the mosque contained the shrine of a famous Islamic saint, Nabi Salih.[1] The minaret is also known as the Tower of the Forty Martyrs.[2][3] Muslim tradition dating back to 1467 claims that forty of the prophet Muhammads companions were buried in the mosque, which erroneously influenced[4] a Western Christian tradition from the 16th century that the White Mosque was originally a church dedicated to the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste.[5][6] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Mosque,_Ramla
