Templars' Tunnel
Templars' Tunnel
May 19, 2024

  This extraordinary underground passageway, 350m long, was built by the Knights Templar (a Christian military order) to connect their main fortress, just north of the black-and-white-striped lighthouse at old Akko's southwestern tip, with the marina (Khan Al Umdan). It was discovered by accident in 1994.

  You can enter at either end; tickets to all the Crusaders sites are sold at both access points. Inside, buttons let you start films in either Hebrew or English.
