Bahá'í World Centre buildings

The Bahá'í World Centre consists of multiple buildings spread across Mount Carmel, featuring white marble structures and nineteen garden terraces extending up the mountainside.

The construction of the Bahá'í World Centre began in 1909 with the Shrine of the Báb, marking the establishment of the administrative headquarters for the global faith.

The buildings and gardens reflect principles of religious unity through architectural elements combining Eastern and Western styles, with geometric patterns and symmetrical designs throughout the complex.

Visitors can access the gardens daily except Wednesdays through guided tours in multiple languages, with advance reservations required for the indoor areas of the complex.

The complex includes specialized archives housing sacred texts, historical documents, and photographs documenting the development of the Bahá'í faith since its inception.
