'''Acre''' was a coastal city located to the east of the {{Wiki|Mediterranean Sea}}. It was situated in Western Galilee, in the northern area of Israel.
==History==
===High Middle Ages===
In the year 1190, [[Templars]] laid siege to the city and planned to poison its water supply to wipe out the entire population. The [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] was able to stop this plot by killing the Templar commander in charge of the operation. However, despite rescue in this instance, Acre eventually fell to the Templar Order.<ref name="ACAC">''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]''</ref>
In the year 1191, [[Richard I of England|Richard the Lionheart]] and his [[Crusaders|Crusader]] forces recaptured the city from the [[Saracens|Saracen]] army. The city served as the capital of the remnants of the Kingdom of [[Jerusalem]] until the end of the Crusades.<ref name="AC">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>
It was in this city that the Christian Crusaders established a base of operations in order to stockpile weapons and troops. With this, they intended to march south towards Jaffa. From there, they planned to launch an all out siege upon their true target, Jerusalem, which they had come from Europe to reclaim in the name of their religious faith.<ref name="AC"/>
===Renaissance===
In 1511, the [[Mentor]] of the [[Italian Assassins]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], stayed in Acre en-route to [[Masyaf]]; there, the [[Civilians|people]] of the city warned Ezio that the road to Masyaf was crawling with bandits and "[[Byzantines|foreign]] mercenaries." Ezio assumed the worst, believing that this was another line of Templars. He expressed this concern in a [[Ezio's letters|letter]] he wrote to his sister [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze|Claudia]].
A year later, Ezio and [[Sofia Sartor]] stayed in Acre during their journey to Masyaf, in a quest to open [[Altaïr's library]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>
==Districts==
===Poor District===
In 1191, due to the recent siege, the Poor District was still recovering from the numerous casualties.  Many dead bodies lay in the streets and alleys and around the main gate into Acre.<ref name="AC"/> The people also fought off disease, despair, oppression, corruption, and the memories of those lost, while the haunting stench of death filled the air. King Richard placed the entire district under the jurisdiction of the [[Knights Hospitalier]], who governed from their [[Hospitalier Fortress|fortress]] located at the north end of the district.<ref name="AC"/>

===Middle District===
The Middle District was more lively, in terms of both citizenry and military presence. Richard gave control of the area to the [[Knights Teutonic]].<ref name="AC"/> In Acre's Middle District, there was a large [[Acre Harbor|harbor port]], whose docks possessed many troublemakers and drunken sailors. The paranoid Templar [[Sibrand]], Grand Master of the Knight's Teutonic, kept an extremely sharp watch over the district. Rumors eventually reached him, however, that the Assassins had come to take his life. These fears began to cloud his judgement and drove Sibrand to fortify the entire area, including the docks.<ref name="AC"/>
===Rich District===
As King Richard the Lionheart fought [[Saladin]] and his Saracen forces, the duty of governing the entire city fell to the regent and liege-lord, [[William of Montferrat]]. The Rich District was the center of Montferrat's power and because of this, the district that suffered the most under his rule. Much of the populace complained about their ill treatment, while others plotted his downfall.<ref name="AC"/> Within the beautiful Rich District were notable landmarks such as [[King Richard's Citadel]], a small keep within the fortress which housed William's quarters. The citadel's interior contained large numbers of guards and archers, and operated like an autonomous, small town within the city.<ref name="AC"/> Another landmark in Acre was the [[Cathedral of the Holy Cross]], the largest Crusader church in the city. The building itself concealed a Templar knight in the incomplete spire and also proved to be the highest climbable point in the cities that Altaïr visited.<ref name="AC"/>

==Trivia==
[[File:Viewpoint in Acre.jpg|thumb|250px|Altaïr situated on a View Point in Acre, during the ''Assassin's Creed'' Cinematic Trailer.]]
*The cinematic video shown at the start of ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' occurred in Acre.
*Acre was also the location shown in most of the official pre-release ''Assassin's Creed'' trailers.
*Acre was drastically altered from the first few gameplay demos shown at E3 in 2006. The first version of Acre had a larger area outside the city walls and could be entered while on [[Horses|horseback]]. The reason for such a change remained unknown.
*Acre appeared in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles]]'', ''Assassin's Creed'', ''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', making it the only city to appear in over three [[Assassin's Creed (series)|''Assassin's Creed'' games]].
*Acre's climate was dramatically different from the other settlements, since it was next to the Mediterranean Sea, giving a misty and foggy effect to the streets.
*The tallest [[View Points|View Point]] in ''Assassin's Creed'' was located in Acre, being the Cathedral of the Holy Cross.
