Cathedral of St. John, Ramla

The Crusader Cathedral of St. John the Baptist was the principal Latin church of Ramla, built in the mid-twelfth century as a three-aisled basilica with pointed arches and cross-vaults in the mature Crusader Romanesque style. After the Muslim reconquest the building was converted into the Great Mosque of Ramla, a function it still serves today. Substantial elements of the Crusader structure — the nave arcades, the vaults, and carved capitals — remain visible inside the mosque.
