Akko Templar Tunnel

by Mackenzie Landi

A time portal to the past, the tunnel is 150 meters long, and it extends from the Templar’s fortress in the west to the city’s port in the east. It crosses Pisan quarter and served as a strategic underground passageway that connected the palace to the port. The lower part of the tunnel is carved in the natural stone, and its upper part is made of hewn stones covered with a semi-barreled dome.
