Garden of Ridván, Akká
The Garden of Ridván (lit. garden of paradise) is a Bahá'í holy place situated just outside Akká (Hebrew name Akko, Crusader name Acre) within modern Israel. Originally known as the 'garden of Namayn', it was rented by `Abdu'l-Bahá for Bahá'u'lláh where he enjoyed spending the later part of his life, after years in a desolute prison cell. Although it shares the same name it does not have the same significance of the Garden of Ridván, Baghdad and no connection to the festival of Ridván.
It is now a Bahá'í pilgrimage location.
