The shrine of Fatema Mæ'sume, sister of Imam Reza, is located in Qom, the second most sacred city in Iran after Mashhad. The shrine is built over a Mithra's temple and it is doubtful if it is really the tomb of Fatema Mæ'sume. Shah Abbas I built the shrine complex in the early 17th century. The shrine has attracted to itself dozens of seminaries and religious schools.
