Hah, it's nice that you're interested.
Tel means an artificial hill while Aviv is referred to the Spring season. So Tel Aviv = 'Hill of Spring'.
Rama is some sort of a raised surface, while ramat means 'the surface of ..'.
Gan is a garden, and so Ramat Gan would be 'Raised garden surface' or something like that :D
This is not just a little tower, but the old Tel-Kudadi lighthouse. You can read about it here, under "Tel-Aviv".
