Bahá’í House of Worship

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

The architecturally interesting Bahá’í House of Worship is one of only eight such structures in the world; all are different except for being domed – this one is 28m high – and having nine sides and entrances, reflecting the faith’s tenet of a basic unity of religions and peoples.

A taxi from Apia costs around ST30, or catch the Siumu bus (ST6) from Maketi Fou. Contact the temple if you wish to attend a Sunday session (10am); it may be able to offer you a free lift.
