As a World Heritage Site, Akko is a veritable livelaboratory for studying and practicing conservation of historic
sites and monuments. As an ancient city, once a majorcrossroad of Mediterranean civilizations, it has a rich and long
heritage of oral traditions, social practices, rituals and festiveevents, as well as tradi
tional crafts, art, music and culture.These aspects have barely been accounted for during
development programs of the city. Local and internationalprojects of the newly established International Conservation
Center aim at enriching the character of the city by:*Enhancing the knowledge of the inhabitants of Akko about
their city. *Safeguarding the intangible culture of the city bycollecting, researching and reviving local traditions *Training
conservation professionals at the sites of the city *Serving as aresource for all cultural and historic aspects of the city.
