Qom, Religious pilgrimage center in Central District, Iran
Qom stands on the banks of the Qom River, 140 kilometers south of Tehran, with surrounding salt deserts and an elevation of 935 meters.
Arab settlers from Kufa established control over local Persian lands in 644 AD, leading to significant changes in the demographic structure of the region.
The shrine of Fatimah bint Musa, built after her death in 816, transformed the city into a major destination receiving twenty million pilgrims each year.
The city connects to Tehran, Arak, Kashan, and Yazd through an extensive road network and integrates with the Trans-Iranian Railway system for transportation.
The local economy produces sohan, a Persian brittle toffee, in over 2,500 shops throughout the city, making it a recognized regional specialty.
