The city of Acre (Akko) is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, dating back to the time of the Pharaoh Thutmose III (1504-1450 BCE).
It is a city of intrigue, where you can walk through labyrinthine alleys and streets and explore the remnants of Crusader, Muslim and Ottoman conquerors. Walking along the walls of the city, you also get a spectacular view of the sea and, on clear days, the city of Haifa.
The Old City of Akko was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2001.
The city was one of the most important and militarily strategic cities in the world for the better part of two hundred years. Christian warriors from Europe poured into this citadel on their way to do battle with the armies of Islam. It was from here that Hospitalers, Templars, Teutonic Knights and others rode forth to defend the Crusader kingdoms in the Holy Land; and it was here, in Akko, where the crusaders made their last stand in Palestine. During the Christian occupation of Israel, the majority of pilgrims visiting from Europe also passed through Akko enroute to Jerusalem. Today the still-formidable looking city remains a symbol of the act of pilgrimage.
