One of the magnificent religious monuments is the "Shrine of the Bab" located on the territory of the Bahai Gardens. Its main architectural feature is a huge gilded dome. There is an important religious relic, the shrine of the forerunner of the Bahai Faith. From the inside, the temple is distinguished by its luxurious design. For decorating, huge hand-made carpets and other traditional accessories were used. Today, the temple is visited by many pilgrims and ordinary tourists who want to see its festive interior.
Another interesting religious monument is the Cathedral of St. Elias located at the foot of Mount Carmel. The church was built in 1939 and is distinguished by its strict and ascetic exterior. There are many interesting historical and religious artifacts inside. Here, the old font and the altar constructed in the year the cathedral was built have been preserved.
