The '''Acre harbor''' was the main port of [[Acre]], located in the Middle District of the city, and was of strategic importance to the [[Crusaders|Crusader]] cause and [[Richard I of England]] during the [[Third Crusade]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The harbor covered a huge area and possesses two lighthouses located in the east and the south of the docks. It is separated from the rest of the city by huge walls, only accessible through two gates known as [[Saint John's Gate]].<br />
<br />
In 1191, [[Sibrand]], Grand Master of the Knights Teutonic and a secret [[Templars|Templar]] planned a blockade of the harbor in order to prevent King Richard from getting overseas aid. However, the [[Levantine Assassins|Assassin]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] infiltrated the harbor and assassinated Sibrand on his own ship.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*There is a [[View Points|view point]] located atop the eastern lighthouse.<br />
