Summary

[edit]
Description

Acre known to locals as Akko (Hebrew) or Akka is among the oldest continuously-inhabited settlements on Earth, dating back to about 2000 BC with initial settlements dating back to about 3000 BC. It has been subject to conquest and destruction several times and survived as little more than a large village for centuries at a time. Acre was an important city during the Crusades, and was the site of several battles. It was the last city held by the Crusaders in the Levant before it was captured in 1291.

In present-day Israel, the population was 49,380 in 2019 made up of Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, and Baháʼís. 32% of the city's population is Arab. And Acre is the holiest city of the Baháʼí Faith and receives many pilgrims of that faith every year.

Acre's Old City has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
