The eldest of the 8 surviving Bahá’í temples in the world.
It has a radial composition with 9 segments,
since nine is the last number in the decimal system,
Bahá’ís believe it symbolizes perfection and completion.
It is considered as one of the “Seven Wonders of Illinois” and included in the list of National Historic Places of USA.
