The tower in which the museum is located connects the external and internal moat. Under it passes a tunnel eighty meters long connecting these ditches. Defencing the city, soldiers of the Jazar army could move from the outer to the inner moat through the tunnel. These maneuvres were sheltered by the artillery platform at the eastern tip of Burj El Komandor (the commander’s citadel). The small garden named after the Strauss family has been created on the site of guns. Hilda and Richard Strauss emigrated from Nazi Germany to English Palestine in the thirties. They settled in Nahariya and built a cowshed. Selling milk did not work, and Hilda tried to make and sell cheeses. The success of the Strauss cheese factory laid the foundation for the country's largest dairy company. Strauss family created significant impact and contributed to the development of the country, job creation, their commitment to the north of the country, the cities of Nahariya and Acre are very appreciated by locals. As the remembrance of the great battle between the army of Napoleon and Jazzar forces a small cannon is preserved here. Many names this cannon the "Napoleonthcik" - the little Napoleon.

Acre, Israel. The city walls

The length of the city walls that we will pass is only a few hundred meters. But Acre talks about herself in every centimeter. The story is about how a formidable ruler emerged from a small village in the mountains, how Napoleon can be defeated, what treasures are hidden in the fortified wall, how to eat fish properly and how life is stronger than anything, everywhere and always, even on the city wall.
