Haifa: Mount Carmel
built 658 days ago
In the 1860s, members of the Society of the Temple, a religious group from Germany commonly called the Templers, moved to Haifa because they were convinced that Christ would soon return to Mount Carmel. They came to the Holy Land to await His arrival.

The Bahá'à World Centre, with the golden Shrine of the Báb and the surrounding gardens, is the main tourist attraction of Haifa. The restored German Colony, founded by the Templers, Stella Maris and the Carmelite monastery are ... popular tourist sites.

Half-way up the Carmel slope the golden tiled dome of the Shrine of the Báb has long been Haifa's most instantly recognizable landmark. The golden shrine, surrounded by older ornamental gardens along whose gravel paths visitors have been crunching since the 1950's, houses the grave of the Báb, Siyyid Ali- Muhammad.
