The Most Beautiful Religious Buildings in the World

Hanging Gardens of Haifa – Haifa, Israel
Many people don’t realize as they’re walking around the Hanging Gardens of Haifa that they’re actually strolling through a religious site for people of the Bahá’í faith. People of the Bahá’í religion make up a small portion of the world’s religious worshippers (about five to seven million worldwide), but these gardens, which cluster around the Shrine of the Báb, are regularly visited by a million people every year.
The Gardens, which were built in 2001, climb up the slope of Mount Carmel, and are a brand-new addition to a country where most of the monuments are centuries old.
