Land of Israel — Crusader Kingdom

Acre (Akko), a Mediterranean port city in the northern Land of Israel, was the Crusader capital during the thirteenth century and home to a significant Jewish community, including a circle of French Tosafist scholars who immigrated there. Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman (Nachmanides, the Ramban) settled in Acre after his arrival in the Land of Israel in 1267 and lived there until his death around 1270.
