The Acre Citadel was a huge fortress located in the southern rich district of Acre, as well as the main residence of Richard I of England during the Third Crusade.
History
The citadel was essentially a small town that was heavily fortified against outside attacks, with huge walls and battlements. It contained the quarters of William of Montferrat, a Templar, who governed the area whilst Richard was absent fighting the Saracens.[1]
In 1191, the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad infiltrated the heavily guarded fortress, eliminated the archers patrolling its perimeter and then assassinated William.[1]
A couple of years later, Altaïr and Maria Thorpe met at the top of the citadel's tower, where they made love and subsequently conceived a son.[2]
