The Abrahamic Family House is a landmark of interfaith dialogue, designed by architect Sir David Adjaye. Located in Abu Dhabi's Cultural District on Saadiyat Island, the complex brings together a mosque, a church, and a synagogue – each with its own distinct architectural style – on a single plaza. The three houses of worship are connected by a shared garden, symbolising common humanity. Visitors can tour each building, learning about the three Abrahamic faiths through exhibits and guided talks. The site is not a place of regular worship but a centre for education and mutual understanding. Its striking white forms and geometric patterns make it a photogenic destination, while the serene atmosphere encourages reflection.

Un po' di storia
