Its founder Baha'u'llah, was exiled from his homeland at the end of the 19th century, and came to Akko (Acre) and Haifa after suffering persecution in neighbouring countries.\u00a0 He was impressed with the beauty of Mount Carmel and expressed the desire that the Bab (one of the central figures of the Baha\u2019i faith) would be buried there. About 20 years later the bones of the Bab were laid to rest in Haifa on the site that then developed into the centre of The Baha\u2019i faith which is visited by half a million people every year.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Visit the Baha\u2019i Gardens Picture yourself standing on the nineteenth terrace which is the very top of this breath taking monument where you can see the rolling hills of the Galilee, the city of Haifa, Akko and the Mediterranean Sea.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1540&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Beauty, grandeur, and inspired design combined with the meticulous gardening by generations of dedicated [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1539,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-north","category-things-to-do"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1538"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1538\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3705,"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1538\/revisions\/3705"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/israel.travel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
