This place has been called the Pisa quarter in the city since the time of the Crusaders. It was located between the Templar quarter and the royal port. It was so small that no one lived in it. Only merchants left their goods in warehouses, and ships moored in the quiet harbor. The large royal port was marked by a tower, the foundations of which can still be seen at sea. Even in Roman times, it was the base of the lighthouse, and during the time of the Crusaders, chains were attached to it, closing, like a gate, the entrance and exit from the port.

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.
