Hospitaller Church of Saint John, Acre

Also known as Saint-Jean-d'Acre, Hospitaller Commandery of Acre

The Knights Hospitaller's principal commandery in Acre — the international headquarters of the order from 1191 until the city's fall in 1291 — included a three-aisled Romanesque church of Saint John the Baptist, a vast vaulted refectory, a knights' hall, infirmary wards, and a hospital that could accommodate more than a thousand beds. Excavations beneath the Ottoman citadel have uncovered six parallel vaulted halls with early-Gothic ribs, the dining hall with its marble columns, the underground sewer network, and the church's foundations. The complex is today an archaeological site within the UNESCO-listed Old City of Acre, accessible to visitors as the Hospitaller Halls.
