Arc, Religious administrative complex on Mount Carmel, Haifa, Israel.
The Arc includes five main buildings arranged in a curved pattern along Mount Carmel, facing the Mediterranean Sea from a hillside location.
The International Archives Building, completed in 1957, was the first structure on the Arc and stores original manuscripts from the founding figures.
The buildings serve as the worldwide administrative headquarters for the Bahá'í Faith, containing offices, study rooms, and sacred religious artifacts.
The complex connects through underground passages and includes a car park beneath the structures, with the Archives Building measuring 32 by 14 meters.
The architectural design draws inspiration from the Parthenon, incorporating 60 Corinthian columns and green-tiled roofs across multiple structures.
