Akko or Acre is one of the oldest cities in Israel, with a history dating thousands of years back into the BC era. It has been mentioned in several ancient writings, from ancient Egyptian to Babylonian, and has been fought for by many of the world's greatest empires over time. Akko is situated in Galilee, Israel's northernmost province, and hosts a population of fewer than 50,000 souls. While it does not hold the same importance as Jerusalem both from a historical and religious point of view, Akko is far from being unimportant, in fact, it is a veritable historical and archeological goldmine, as well as a spiritual and cultural stronghold.
