Baha’i Temple of South America
The mother temple for the Bahá’í faith in South America was opened in Santiago, Chile, in 2016. A temple of light open to all religions, it’s a stunningly beautiful combination of organic and futuristic design.
The temple looks as if an organic, bud-like alien spaceship landed on the hills above Santiago. Nine monumental glass veils form its exterior, each one built to different specifications but forming a beautifully cohesive domed whole. Reflecting the faith’s principles of openness and unity, the veils come together while allowing light and air to flow freely into the interior, which can hold 600 visitors.
