The St. John, Sankt Johannes church goes back to a Franciscan foundation and was built in 1737 on the ruins of the 1291 destroyed Johanniterkirche.

Saint John Church, which currently stands next to Akko’s lighthouse, belongs to the Roman Catholic community (the Franciscans).
It is unclear as to when the church was built, although several years ago, the year 1737 was found engraved in the northern wall of the building. The church was renovated in 1947 and now serves as the church of Akko’s Roman-Catholic community.
