Jamkaran Mosque

Jamkaran Mosque, Religious complex in Jamkaran, Iran.

Jamkaran Mosque is a religious complex in the Central District of Qom Province, Iran. The shrine features two tall minarets, five domes covered in turquoise glazed tiles, and several entrance halls that lead to a central courtyard.

Construction began in 984 CE on a plot near Qom. Major expansions took place during the Afsharid period between 1736 and 1796, blending several architectural traditions from different eras.

At a well within the complex, visitors place written requests, believing these messages reach the Twelfth Imam of Shia Islam. The site holds a special place in the religious life of many pilgrims who come here to pray and share personal concerns.

The site includes prayer halls, courtyards, and auxiliary buildings accessible through several entrances. Bazaars, hotels, and lodging facilities around the grounds make it easier for visitors traveling from distant places to stay for extended periods.

Every Tuesday evening, free meals are served to thousands of people in the community dining halls, a tradition maintained for decades. This weekly gathering draws both worshippers and those in need from the wider region.
