Hall of the Crusader Knights, Medieval fortress museum in Old City, Acre, Israel

The Hall of the Crusader Knights spans 4,500 square meters, featuring massive stone columns, vaulted ceilings, and underground chambers within ancient fortress walls.

Built in the 12th century as headquarters for the Hospitaller Order, the fortress served as a vital stronghold until Mamluks captured Acre in 1291.

The Knights' Kingdom exhibition inside the fortress presents detailed displays and films covering 4,000 years of history through multiple historical periods.

Visitors can explore the fortress daily with audio guides available in ten languages, while combined tickets allow access to additional sites in Old Acre.

The underground tunnel system connects the dining hall to the Crypt beneath St. John's church, revealing medieval tombstones and ancient military passages.
