Discover Akko, Israel: A Journey Through History and Modernity
Inside the walls of the 5000-year-old city of Akko, bustling markets are squeezed into alleyways that meander past incredible historical sites. It was the Crusaders who left the most impressive remains here, with a series of fortifications and the Knights’ Halls, an underground complex that served as the industrial, religious, and military headquarters of the ruling Order of St John. The Greeks, Romans, and Ottomans also had stints as Akko’s rulers.
