Fortress - Monastery of Saint John Hospitallers

Acre, Israel

Description:

The fortress is the Monastery of the Hospitallers of St. John, built in the XVIII century by Vladyka Dahar el-Omar in the Romanesque and Gothic style. This is a huge palace where formerly lived representatives of the city of Acre. Outside, there are four side wings, and inside a beautiful courtyard. Each zone had separate rooms for different needs. The height of the citadel is about 40 meters. Now there is a museum with the found remains and an underground tunnel.

Getting to the fortress is best by bus, pre-ordering a tour so as not to miss any details. You can also take a taxi.
