| An important Shia pilgrimage center for centuries, the Iranian city of Qom contains many examples of characteristically Islamic architecture. Chief among them is the shrine of Fatima the Pure (background, gold-domed). Originally built in the 12th century, the shrine was plated with gold in the 19th century. | ||||||
