Photo taken on Dec. 4, 2013, shows the exterior of the Shrine of the Bab in Haifa, Israel. The Baha'i Holy Places in Haifa and Western Galilee in Israel was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2008 for their profound spiritual meaning and the testimony they bear to the strong tradition of pilgrimage in the Baha'i faith. The property includes the two most holy places in the Baha'i religion associated with the founders, the Shrine of Baha'u'llah in Acre and the Shrine of the Bab in Haifa, together with their surrounding gardens, associated buildings and monuments. These two shrines are part of a larger complex of buildings, monuments and sites at seven distinct locations in Haifa and Western Galilee that are visited as part of the Baha'i pilgrimage.
