Man’s merit lieth in service and virtue and
not in the pageantry of wealth and riches.

The House of the Báb in Shiraz was the most holy place for Bahá’ís in Iran. It was destroyed in 1979 by the new regime. It is possible to go to Google Earth and see exactly where it was located.
It is advisable to first get a ground view of the site as it appears today. Go to YouTube and see a 33 second video showing the ground view: youtube.com/watch?v=qIdOFYDc3Rg.
Go to Google Earth and type into its search window “Dastgheib Blvd, Shiraz”, and it will take you to that precise location, which you will be able to identify from the video. It’s about in the center of the city. The small mosque in the video is the Bayt al Mahdi Mosque, which is, ironically, dedicated to the Promised One. The older and larger Now (New) Mosque is located next to it.
