BAHÁ’Í WORLD CENTRE — With the completion of the ‘Akká Visitors’ Centre, a new milestone has been reached in the development of the project to construct the Shrine of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá.
When the Shrine has been completed, visitors arriving to express their love and devotion will find in this Centre a place to prepare spiritually for their visit to the final resting place of the exemplar of the Bahá’í Faith’s spirit and teachings.
Beyond the Visitors’ Centre, work continues to advance on the landscaping surrounding the central edifice of the Shrine of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. Grass has now been added to nearly all of the east and west berms, with many trees having already been planted on both sides.
The landscaping surrounding the Shrine and Visitors’ Centre has been designed to unfold gradually, inviting a sense of discovery and quiet contemplation.
The images that follow offer glimpses of recent developments, capturing both the completed spaces of the ‘Akká Visitors’ Centre and the advancing work on the landscape that will embrace the Shrine of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá.
