Fatima Masumeh Shrine, Religious mausoleum in Qom, Iran
Fatima Masumeh Shrine is a mausoleum and imamzadeh in Qom Province, Iran, recognized as a national heritage site with Safavid architecture. The complex includes several courtyards, galleries, and mosques that occupy a large area in central Qom.
The site arose after the death of Fatima al-Masuma in 816, the sister of the eighth Shia Imam, when she fell ill while traveling to meet him and died in Qom. Over centuries, rulers expanded the complex significantly, especially during the Safavid period.
The name Masumeh means 'the Infallible', and pilgrims come here to pray and approach the tomb with reverence. Believers often touch the silver grille surrounding the burial chamber and linger in prayer halls beneath the gilded dome.
The site is open daily, and visitors should expect separate entrances for men and women. Women must wear a chador, which is provided at the entrance, and all visitors should be prepared for security checks.
The central hall is covered entirely with mirror mosaics that reflect light from countless chandeliers, creating geometric patterns on walls and ceilings. This mirror work was refined by Persian craftsmen over generations and produces an almost floating effect of light.
