			==Behind the scenes==
			The Cathedral is meant to be Acre’s main cathedral known as the Church of the Holy Cross which was built in the quarters of the Patriarch.<ref name="origin">[https://whc.unesco.org/document/151602 ''Acre (Israel) No 1042'']. ''www.whc.unesco.org''. Accessed 20 September 2021</ref><ref name="origin2">[https://enrychan.tumblr.com/post/32057830992/cathedral-of-the-holy-cross-acre-the-crusader ''Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Acre'']. ''www.tumblr.com''. Accessed 20 September 2021</ref>

			However, the church was destroyed long ago and archaeologists have discovered only its foundations therefore there is no available information on the church's appearance.<ref name="destruction">[https://steamcommunity.com/app/15100/discussions/0/34094415749514225/ ''Assassin's Creed Landmarks'']. ''www.steamcommunity.com''.

''www.forums.ubisoft.com''. Accessed 20 September 2021</ref> As such the in game cathedral appears to be modeled after the {{Wiki\|Chartres Cathedral\|Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres}} in Chartres, [[France]].

			However, this is anachronistic as the Gothic Chartres cathedral was built in 1194-1252 and the change from Romanesque to Gothic architecture was only being developed in Europe at that time with Gothic architecture being introduced to Acre in the 13th century after the setting of ''Assassin's Creed''.<ref name="anachronism">[http://www.thehiddenblade.com/game-landmark-and-real-life-comparison#comment-21983 ''In-game Landmark And Real Life Comparison''].
