The Old City of Acre (Citadel)

The Old City of Acre (also historically Acre, Akko) is an ancient port city on the northern coast of what is now Israel, with occupation attested from the Bronze Age through medieval, Ottoman, and modern periods. The site reached particular prominence in the late 12th and early 13th centuries when it served as the capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem; substantial Crusader-period remains survive both above and below current street level, preserving a medieval street layout. During the Ottoman period and into the 18th–19th centuries the urban ensemble acquired characteristic structures—fortified citadel, remnants of a moat, mosques, bathhouses (hammams), and a caravanserai—many of which survive in the Old City fabric.
