This painting, from 1839, shows a view of Haifa from the north. The city of Haifa would have looked similar when Bahá’u’lláh’s ship arrived there on the morning on 31 August 1868. He stayed there for a few hours before boarding a sailboat for the prison city of ‘Akká. (Source: David Roberts, "Caiphas looking towards Mount Carmel")
