Descripción del sitio
The city of Ramla is strategically located on the main road connecting Jerusalem to Ashkelon, while the first was under the control of the Crusaders; the latter was the largest Fatimid fortress in Palestine. As a result, the site of Ramla witnessed not one, but several battles between the competing empires (1101, 1102, 1105 CE). Additionally, during the Caliphate rule in palestine, Ramla became the new capital of Jund Filastin.
