The ancient city of St. Jean d'Acre reached the hight of its splendor as the capital city of the Kingdom of Jerusalem during the Crusades. It was eventually taken by the Ottoman Empire, who used it as a prison city. It was the site of a number of important events in the 19th and 20th centuries, including being besieged by the Napoleonic Empire, the development of the Bahá'í Faith, and a major prison break during the build-up to the establishment of modern Israel.
