The spacious FIsherman’s Square is the heart of Akko’s sea life and fishermen. In front of it is the pier and the harbor, on one side that touches the walls stands the Sea Mosque and on the western side, we see one of the iconic buildings of Akko – the great merchants’ khan, Khan al-Omdan, topped by a unique clock tower.
The square was the “welcoming hall” of the city and for all those coming from the sea gate of Akko.
Here stood carriage owners, road guides, peddlers, fast food stalls, and anyone who provided service to those coming to Eretz Yisrael.
