Address:
Old City, Nazareth, Israel

Acre is a city in the coastal plain region of Israel's Northern District at the extremity of Haifa Bay. The city occupies an important location, as it sits on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, traditionally linking the waterways and commercial activity with the Levant. The important land routes meeting here are the north–south one following the coast and the road cutting inland through the Jezreel Valley; Acre also benefits from one of the very rare natural harbours on the coast of the Land of Israel. This location helped it become one of the oldest cities in the world, continuously inhabited since the Middle Bronze Age, some 4,000 years ago. Acre is the holiest city of the Bahá'í Faith and receives many Baha'i pilgrims. In 2017, the population was 48,303. Acre is a mixed city that includes Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, and Baha'is. The mayor is Shimon Lankri, who was reelected in 2011.
