Walking through the ancient city of Akko

in #photography7 years ago

Hi, Steemit!!!

  The ancient city of Akko in Israel is over 4000 years old. Of course, this is not the only city with such an age of existence. However, it is unique. Than? All these 4000 years in this city did not stop life! The epoch changed, wars raged around the city, he passed from hand to hand, and yet he lived!

  We lived in the north of Israel not far from Akko and therefore we had the opportunity to visit there. Once we went there with our friends.

  Once upon a time, Napoleon was never able to capture this Akko. We climbed the walls from which the defenders of the city fought against the army of Napoleon.

  In Akko, we passed through an ancient underground tunnel, looked at the Halls of the Crusaders. And finally we sat in a cozy oriental restaurant on the beach.

  If you ever visit this city, I'm sure that it will leave an indelible impression on you!
