Akko Citadel (Acre)

Israel / Hazafon / Akko / Acre
 citadel, prison, fortification

This fortress was used as a prison by the Ottomans, holding the Bahá'í prophet Bahá'u'lláh during the 19th century and (as I recall) Zionist prisoners shortly before the 1948 war. Structures built by the Crusaders were recently discovered beneath the courtyard.
