If Ramla happens to be the Biblical Arimathea, a monument dedicated to St. Joseph, the secret disciple of Jesus, is naturally expected. As per the New Testament, together with St. Nicodemus, St. Joseph of Arimathea buried Jesus (John 19:38-42). Today, the catholic church dedicated to St Joseph along with the Hospice of St Nicodemus and its clock-tower are landmarks of Ramla.The monks in the adjacent monastery believe that Napoleon stayed here in 1799. The church was buit in 1296 and rennovated in 1902. I couldn't make it to the church as it was closed again for rennovation.
