The Hospitaller Center, which we know now, is first mentioned in a document written during the reign of Queen Melisande (1149).
The Hospitallers are a military monastic order that was involved in the treatment of the sick in the Holy Land and the protection of pilgrims who came to visit holy places. Hospitallers ran hospitals in Jerusalem and Acre.
The Fairy Garden (also called the “Festival Garden“) is used as a lobby at the entrance to the fortress and the knights’ halls.
The center includes the Hospitaller Fortress, the Headquarters Building (knights’ halls): the central courtyard, the northern hall, the sugar bowl hall, the northwestern gate, the northwestern tower and the main sewer system, the pillared hall (refectory), the western wing (almost not yet excavated), pylon hall, south street, beautiful hall, prisoners hall.
Hammam El Basha was built in the late 18th century by Pasha Jazar, governor of Akko. At
