The remains of a 2,300-year-old naval pier have been uncovered in Acre, adding to the coastal city’s long and varied history by showing it was a substantial port in the Hellenistic period.
The remains, unveiled at the site by the Israel Antiquities Authority on Tuesday, were uncovered by marine archaeologists this month during restoration work on Acre’s southern seawall.
