Interesting antiquities site, well worth stopping and taking a look for a few minutes.

"A bastion of faith, largely built by the Crusaders in the 12th century. The gateway to the Holy Land – Acre in northern Israel. The city boasts great names in world history – both good and bad: terrorized by Herod, occupied by Pompey and Julius Caesar, overrun by Alexander the Great. The Apostle Paul brought Christianity early on. Then the Arabs invaded the country, and the Umayyads brought prosperity to the small peninsula. The English King Richard the Lionheart recaptured the city and made it the home of the Crusaders. The Knights Hospitaller expanded it into an underground fortress of Christianity in the Middle East. Francis of Assisi founded a nunnery. The Ottomans transformed it back into a Muslim-Arab citadel, which Napoleon tried in vain to capture." These are the sentences used on the ARD Mediathek website to describe the film (available only in German) from the series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity," which I highly recommend, and which presents AKKO to culture-loving viewers.

With several hundred film contributions, culture-loving viewers can learn about very special places all over the world as part of the series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" – which I highly recommend. Despite the diversity of the cultures and eras in which they originated, the sites have one great commonality: UNESCO has recognized them as "World Heritage Sites." These include the ruins of Masada, a fortified rock city in the Israeli desert, which owes its international fame primarily to the fact that in the first century AD, soldiers of the Roman Empire stormed the site after a complex siege – however, the nearly 1,000 inhabitants had previously committed collective suicide to avoid being captured by their hated enemies. The 15-minute film contribution (only in German) can be found in the ARD media library at the following link =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/masada-israel-folge-322/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82ODQ5Mjg4

The limestone from the ditches was used to build the Crusader castle of Montfort. The castle's protective walls were five to seven meters thick. There was a castle chapel, a residential tower, several halls and a cistern that supplied the residents with water. An outbuilding belonging to the castle was found in the valley. This was most likely used as a water mill at times, but also as a guest house or hospital. The Teutonic Order had made it their mission to care for the sick, which they demonstrably also did in Montfort.

The buildings of the Hospitaller fortress include 3 main buildings: the commander's office with the knight's halls, the St. John's Church south of the commander's office and a hospital south of the church, which has not yet been excavated. Two and three-storey buildings are built around an inner courtyard, as well as underground rooms, cisterns and a sewage system. So far, the entire complex has been uncovered except for the western wing. The most impressive part of the whole complex is the Column Hall. Eight pointed arches supported on three massive columns, each three meters in diameter, make up this room, which is ten meters high. It was probably used as the Order's dining room. Opening hours: Sat-Thu and public holidays 8.30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Fri and before public holidays 8.30 a.m. to 5 p.m

The Crusader fortress covered only a fraction of the original Roman city and was mainly confined to the port area. The fortification walls, the 3 gates and the moat in front of them, as well as the warehouses (today the visitor center) are still clearly visible today.

A mystical place charged with many symbols, at times used in the swearing-in of recruits. Since the snake path is currently closed, the only way to get to Masada at sunrise is via the Byzantine gate in the west. The Godel only runs from 8:00 a.m.

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. (https://www.akko.org.il/en/attraction/the-knights-halls/)

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.

Avdat is a national park in Israel that also houses the ancient Nabatean city of Avdat. The city was an important stop on the Incense Route and existed for over 1,000 years until the Byzantine era. Today Avdat is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Incense Route - Desert Cities in the Negev".
