The Universal House of Justice

The Bahá'í Palace of Justice, also known as the Universal House of Justice, is located in the Bahá'í World Centre in Haifa, Israel, is an architectural masterpiece renowned for its use of Pentelic marble.

The extensive use of Pentelic marble in the Palace of Justice, enhances the building's aesthetic appeal and symbolizes purity and peace, in harmony with the principles of the Bahá'í faith. The fine grain and luminescent quality of Pentelic marble make it an ideal material for the intricate carvings and detailed architectural elements that adorn the structure.

The natural translucency and reflective quality of Pentelic marble allow light to penetrate and diffuse, creating a soft, ethereal glow within the palace. This interplay of marble and light contributes to a serene and uplifting atmosphere, making the Bahá'í Palace of Justice a fitting place for contemplation and the pursuit of justice in the Bahá'í faith. The careful selection and use of Pentelic marble underscore the building's spiritual significance and enduring beauty.
