The citadel of Acre is an Ottoman fortification, built on the foundation of the citadel of the Knights Hospitaller. It was part of the city's defensive formation, reinforcing the northern wall. During the 20th century the citadel was used mainly as Acre Prison and as the site for a gallows. During the British mandate period, activists of Jewish Zionist resistance movements were executed there.
