Architecture sights in Akko

  1. Burj al-Kuraijim

    Heading west along Al-Jazzar's wall brings you to Burj al-Kuraijim , also known as the British Fortress. From here, the 12th century sea wall (refaced in the 18th century by Al-Jazzar with stones scavenged from the Crusader castle at Atlit) runs due south before looping around to the harbour. In the shadow of the sea wall is HaHaganah St, which terminates in a car park beside the lighthouse at the southernmost tip of Old Akko.

  2. Templar Crusader Tunnel

    Near the lighthouse parking lot at the southern tip of Akko, look out for the amazing Templar Crusader Tunnel , an underground passageway that connected the Port to a Templar palace. The tunnel was found by accident in 1994 after a complaint made by a local woman about a blocked sewer led a plumber to the underground shaft. The tunnel was investigated and opened to tourists.
