The Jāmeh Mosque of Qom (Persian: مسجد جامع قم; Arabic: جامع قم), also known as the Atiq Jameh Mosque of Qom, is a Friday mosque (jāmeh), located in the downtown area of the city of Qom, in the province of Qom, Iran. It is one of the oldest mosques in Qom.[2][3][4]
The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 31 July 1933, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
Overview
[edit]The mosque was constructed on a rectangular plan. The main skeleton of the dome was commenced in the early-to-mid-6th century CE and ranks second in antiquity to the Imam Hasan al-Askari Mosque.[1] Completed in AH 529 (1134/1135 CE), the dome's tall south facing porch and colored encrustation of plasterwork is from the Safavid period. The construction of the northern porch and nocturnal areas in an east-west direction are from the Qajar era.[3]
No iron was used in the building of the 6,000-square-metre (65,000 sq ft) mosque and its dome that is standing after many years. The mosque consists of an old Maqsurah and dome, an old porch with two siquinchs and three prayer halls, one basement, iwan, sahn and the entrance gate.[1]
