The old crusader town has its fortifications and quite a number of buildings completely preserved. This makes it a unique experience to wander between (and on) the walls and explore the small alleys. Some part start to get touristic unfortunately, but it is not crowded at all if you pick the right day. Lots of fish restaurants to choose from close to the harbour.

This Fortress and the nearest buildings functioned as a hospice and a hospital for the many pilgrims who came to the Holy Land during the crusaders period in the 12th and 13th centuries.
This authentic world class site is one of the leading historical sites in Israel.
It was awarded World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Walking through the Knights Halls takes you back to the crusaders period and makes you feel the everyday life atmosphere of the knights.
