St. Andrew's Church, Acre

The St. Andrew's Church (Hebrew: כנסיית אנדראס הקדוש‎‎ Latin: Ecclesia Sancti Andreae) is the name given to a religious building located in the southwest corner of the old city of Acre, in present Israel, which was dedicated in honor of the prophet St. Andrew. The current building, which was built in 1765 on the remains of the building of the Crusaders of Latin rite that was destroyed in 1261, it belongs to the Catholic Church and follows the Greek-Catholic Eastern Rite in full communion with the Pope in Rome.

Thanks to its location overlooking the Mediterranean, was easily visible for the Crusaders who built and their boats. Another theory suggests that before the church was also a synagogue transformed into a church. The structure of the two-story Crusader church survived and later rocks of the original church were used in the construction of the current building catholic. The top floor of the original Crusader church remains and is still in ruins although plans have been made to restore this space.
