Capital of Theology
sacred site — dress code
Portrait
Qom holds the shrine of Fatima Masumeh and some fifty seminaries, which makes it the intellectual capital of Shia Iran and a city where the clerical class is the local profession. Non-Muslims may enter the courtyard but not the shrine; dress conservatively, expect to be asked why you came, and understand that the conversation is usually genuine curiosity.
Restricted by faith Non-Muslims may enter the courtyard but not the shrine.
