Baha'i Gardens

The Baha'i Gardens Ensemble is part of the Baha'i Temple complex. The Baha'i religion is very young - a little over a hundred and a half years old - and yet widespread throughout the world. The Bahá’ís believe in the coming of world peace, and the Bahá’í Gardens seem to embodies the beauty and harmony that must prevail after the good changes.

On the central terrace of the gardens there is a tomb in which the ashes of the founder of the Baha'i church rest from it stretches nine terraces to the top of the mountain and nine to the foot. And this luxurious cascade is covered with buildings of snow-white marble, bronze sculptures of birds and flowers, and, of course, a lush collection of plants, which are selected so that at any time of the year the gardens cover fragrant flowers.

The official opening of the Eighth Wonder of the World took place only in 2001. The gardens were built solely on Bahá’í donations, and no material contributions from the uninitiated were accepted. But to walk in the shadow of their flowering alleys and relax near the gurgling fountains, each visitor to the gardens is presented with only one requirement - closed clothing.
