Four elements harmoniously integrated.

The Bay of Akko enclosed by the city wall.

Overlooking the wall and at its extremity one of the most beautiful skylines in Israel.

Minarets of mosques, bell towers of monasteries and churches stand out above the

domes of the buildings, the square outline of the Citadel and the flat roofs of oriental

dwellings.

On the right hand side, the most famous site in Akko, the so-called "Crypt", actually the refectory of the Hospitalers' Palace. Through an arched gate can be seen two giant pillars and from their capitals, fanning out magnificent arches supporting the building.

On the left hand side, sculptured on one of the pillars a Fleur de Lis, which was to become the emblem of the French monarchy.
