A particularly cool sculpture commemorates an important religious event from the Old Testament in Akko, Israel. Akko has great historical significance as one of the oldest cities in Israel and at one time served as a crusader stronghold and the beautiful ancient architecture found in the city won’t disappoint.
The sculpture can be found on the shoreline in the harbor area.

One of my favorite parts of this sculpture is that you can actually climb inside of it and take a really awesome “Jonah” themed photo.

There are several points of attraction in the city. You can learn more about other places to visit in Akko here or here.
A second scultpure, “The Smiling Whale,” is viewable in Jaffa, Israel. Once known as “Joppa,” Jaffa has several biblical ties, including Peter the disciple and Noah. It’s also one of the oldest port cities on earth. Joffa has a number of attractions in addition to this one.
