Four years beforehand, Caffarelli&#8217;s had lost his left leg in one of the battles in Europe, but it didn&#8217;t stop him from continuing to serve in the army and achieving outstanding performance. During the course of Napoleon&#8217;s travels to the Land of Israel, Caffarelli was one of the most popular generals. The solders affectionately dubbed him &#8220;wooden leg&#8221; or &#8220;Dad on crutches&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- Close div to element full width  -->\n    <\/div>\n<a onclick=\"console.log(event.target.nextElementSibling.nextElementSibling.focus())\"\n   class=\"visually-hidden-focusable move-to-main\" href=\"#!\">Atmosphere photo gallery ahead &#8211; Skip to next content<\/a>\n<div class=\"editor-widgets__slider\" data-id=\"block_608e6f01c42f4\">\n    <div class=\"swiper-container\">\n        <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n\n                            <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n                    <div class=\"ratio ratio-slider\">\n                        <picture >\n<source media=\"(min-width: 500px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.akko.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kaparely2.jpg\">\n<source media=\"(min-width: 300px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.akko.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kaparely2.jpg\">\n<source media=\"(min-width: 150px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.akko.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kaparely2-300x249.jpg\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.akko.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kaparely2-150x150.jpg\"  class=\"  thumb-img\" ><\/picture>                    <\/div>\n                    <span class=\"image-info\"  aria-hidden=\"true\">General Caffarelli<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n                    <div class=\"ratio ratio-slider\">\n                        <picture >\n<source media=\"(min-width: 500px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.akko.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/caf3.jpg\">\n<source media=\"(min-width: 300px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.akko.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/caf3.jpg\">\n<source media=\"(min-width: 150px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.akko.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/caf3-300x225.jpg\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.akko.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/caf3-150x150.jpg\"  class=\"  thumb-img\" ><\/picture>                    <\/div>\n                    <span class=\"image-info\"  aria-hidden=\"true\">Caffarelli Tomb<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n            \n        <\/div>\n\n        <!-- If we need navigation buttons -->\n        <button class=\"swiper-button-prev\" aria-label=\"Prev slide\"><\/button>\n        <button class=\"swiper-button-next\" aria-label=\"Next slide\"><\/button>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<a class=\"visually-hidden-focusable\" aria-hidden=\"true\" href=\"#!\">You skipped to next content.<\/a>\n<!-- Open div to element container  -->\n<div class=\"inner-page--wrapper\">\n    \n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> During Napoleon&#8217;s siege on Akko, Caffarelli was the chief engineer who planned and supervised the professional aspects of the siege. One day, toward the end of the siege, while passing through the canals, he was injured by a bullet fired by a Turkish sniper and the doctor had to amputate his arm, up to his elbow. It subsequently became apparent that the injury was more serious than it had appeared at first; gangrene set in and Caffarelli died two weeks later. While on his deathbed, he was visited by his old friend, Napoleon Bonaparte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the month of November every year, the French Embassy in Israel holds a ceremony at the cemetery marking the signing of the cease-fire agreement at the end of World War I as well as the Unknown Soldier ceremony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","attractions_types":[17],"class_list":["post-565","attraction","type-attraction","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Tomb of General Caffarelli - OLD AKKO<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.akko.org.il\/en\/attraction\/the-tomb-of-general-caffarelli\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Tomb of General Caffarelli - OLD AKKO\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Caffarelli&#8217;s tomb was discovered in 1969 in an area currently occupied by the Yad Natan Agricultural College.
