With an area of 12,000 square metres, the Grand Mosque of Qom is one of the largest religious, historical buildings in Iran.
The Grand Mosque of Qom has been built beside the holy shrine of Fatimah al-Masumah (AS) upon the order of Grand Ayatollah Alavi Boroujerdi, the late Iranian religious authority.

Master Hossein Lorzadeh, the prominent contemporary architect, is the one who has designed the magnificent structure.
With an area of more than 1,400 metres, its dome is one of the largest ones in the Islamic world. The building has two large, 25-metre minarets, and is adorned with unique tile works.
