==Baháʼí Faith==
The holiest places for [[Baháʼí pilgrimage]] are the [[Shrine of Bahá'u'lláh]] and the [[Shrine of the Báb]], which are [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]]s in the coastal cities of [[Acre, Israel|Acre]] and [[Haifa]], respectively.<ref name="UNESCO">{{cite web |author=UNESCO World Heritage Centre |date=2008-07-08 |title=Three new sites inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/news/452 |access-date=2008-07-08}}</ref>

The [[Baháʼí Faith]]'s founder, [[Bahá'u'lláh]], was exiled to [[Acre Prison]] from 1868 and spent his life in its surroundings until his death in 1892. In [[List of writings of Bahá'u'lláh|his writings]] he set the slope of [[Mount Carmel]] to host the [[Shrine of the Báb]] which his appointed successor [['Abdu'l-Bahá]] erected in 1909 as a beginning of the [[Terraces (Baháʼí)|terraced gardens]] there. The Head of the religion after him, [[Shoghi Effendi]], began building other structures and the [[Universal House of Justice]] continued the work until the [[Bahá'í World Centre]] was brought to its current state as the spiritual and administrative centre of the religion.<ref>{{cite journal| first = Jay D. | last = Gatrella | author2=Noga Collins-Kreinerb | title =Negotiated space: Tourists, pilgrims, and the Baháʼí terraced gardens in Haifa | journal =Geoforum | volume =37 | issue =5 | pages =765–778 | date =September 2006 | issn =0016-7185 | doi =10.1016/j.geoforum.2006.01.002}}</ref><ref>{{cite encyclopedia |last= Smith |first= Peter |encyclopedia= A concise encyclopedia of the Bahá'í Faith |title= Arc-buildings of; Bahá'í World Centre |year= 2000 |publisher= Oneworld Publications |location= Oxford |isbn= 978-1-85168-184-6 |pages= [https://archive.org/details/conciseencyclope0000smit/page/45 45–46, 71–72] |url= https://archive.org/details/conciseencyclope0000smit/page/45 }}</ref> Its gardens are highly popular places to visit<ref>{{cite web |last= Leichman |first= Abigail Klein |title= Israel's top 10 public gardens |publisher= Israel21c.org |date= 7 September 2011 |url= http://israel21c.org/travel/israels-top-10-public-gardens/ |access-date = 30 March 2014}}</ref> and [[Mohsen Makhmalbaf]]'s 2012 film ''[[The Gardener (2012 film)|The Gardener]]'' featured them.<ref>{{cite news| last =Dargis | first =Manohla | title =The Cultivation of Belief – 'The Gardener,' Mohsen Makhmalbaf's Inquiry into Religion | newspaper =The New York Times| date =8 August 2013 | url =https://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/09/movies/the-gardener-mohsen-makhmalbafs-inquiry-into-religion.html?_r=0 | access-date = 30 March 2014}}</ref>
