Bahá'í World Centre, Religious administrative center in Haifa, Israel
The Bahá'í World Centre includes the golden-domed Shrine of the Báb and nineteen ascending garden terraces on Mount Carmel's northern slope.
The location of the administrative center in Israel resulted from Bahá'u'lláh's exile to the Acre penal colony in 1868, where he remained until his death.
The center coordinates international Bahá'í activities through the Universal House of Justice, promoting universal peace and human equality principles.
Thousands of pilgrims visit the Shrine of the Báb and the Shrine of Bahá'u'lláh annually, with both sanctuaries remaining open to public viewing.
The administrative staff at the Bahá'í World Centre maintains a self-imposed restriction against teaching their faith to local Israeli residents.
