Acre near the Lebanon border is one of the oldest continually occupied cities in the world. It dates to times before the Phoenicians and has been conquered and sacked many times. During the Crusade era it became a Knights Hospitaller stronghold and the last capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem for many years before reconquest by the Turks.
The pictures are of the "Khan al-Umdon" a caveren stopping place and a British prison.; (2) a butcher shop,(3) the ruins of the Roman aqueduct at Casaeria, Herold's city, and(4) Druzes on the Golan.
