Photos of Acre (Akko)

The Khan al-Umdan, or "Inn of the Columns," was restored by al-Jazzar, the Albanian soldier of fortune, whose real name was Ahmed Pasha.  He took control of the city in 1775.  "Al-Jazzar" means "the butcher," referring to his legendary cruelty.  This was the inn of the Genoese quarter in the old city.  The city states of Pisa, Venice, and Amalfi also had their own quarters in the city.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A second view of the Khan al-Umdan.

Half an arch in the old city.  Residential buildings have been constructed taking up half of the old corridor.

Stone carving above the door to St. George's Church.  The date on the carving is 1824.  Crusaders are depicted slaying their enemies.

 

 

A nineteenth century wall.  The sign notes that Napoleon Bonaparte came in 1799.  He laid siege to the city for two months, but was unable to take it.  He had  hoped to open a route to India, but was forced to return to Egypt.

A contemporary church by the sea in Acre.

 

Underground passage discovered by the Crusaders, which they improved and used to move covertly from their fortress in the city to the western wall.
