Al-Manara Square:   Monumental Architecture and Power   by Adania Shibli
We are the "Original" Ramallah Family and the impact we had on the City of Ramallah....."The five lions represented the five Ramallah families who viewed themselves as the city’s "original" inhabitants: the families of Ibrahim, Jerias, Shqair, Hassan, and Haddad*.8  All five of these families were descended from the Rashid al-Haddadin family, which fled to Ramallah in the sixteenth century from the Shobak area in east    Jordan after local leader Sheikh Dhiyab bin Qaysoum sought to forcefully marry his Muslim son to Rashid’s Christian daughter.9" Read more on the history as it is detailed by Adania Shibli
