The
Shrine of the Báb is a structure in
Haifa,
Israel where the remains of the
Báb, founder of the Bábí Faith and forerunner of
Bahá'u'lláh in the
Bahá'í Faith, have been buried; it is considered to be the second holiest place on Earth for Bahá'ís, after the
Shrine of Bahá'u'lláh in
Acre. Its precise location on
Mount Carmel was designated by Bahá'u'lláh himself to his eldest son,
`Abdu'l-Bahá, in 1891. `Abdu'l-Bahá planned the structure, which was designed and completed several years later by his grandson,
Shoghi Effendi.
