The city of the Crusaders was split between the various Italian cities of the republics and orders of knighthood. Thus, the Hospitallers occupied a large territory adjacent to the royal citadel. The Pisans had their own port along with the Genoese, and the Templars were located on the east coast. This tunnel connected between the Templar fortress and the royal port, passing under the Pisa quarter. Translated with Google Translate
Akko is one of the oldest cities in the world. In our century, it will be almost 35 thousand years old. The Phoenicians founded it, and many cultures and empires left their mark on it, from the Mesopotamian rulers of the Middle East to the Greeks and Romans. However, the most significant period in the history of the city is the kingdom of the Crusaders. Medieval knights left behind delightful buildings, which the Arab rulers of Akko buried underground with enviable obstinacy and constancy. This underground city will appear to our eyes, and after getting to know the halls of the crusaders, we will take a walk in Arab Akko - full of oriental quirks and contradictions and finish the walk with a portion hummus. Don't forget to buy tickets to the Crusader Halls complex, including the Turkish Baths and the Templar Tunnel.
