The mosque of St. Fatima stands in the center of the courtyard of a quadrangular shape and is surrounded by a stone wall. Its dome sparkles in the sun with bright glare, showing the beauty of sheet gold. The entrance to the main mosque of the city is decorated with a large arched gallery, passing through which you can get into the historical building, in the center of which is the tomb of Sister Reza.

The mosque has its own museum, which displays jewellery donated to Fatima at different times. Among all the treasures, a special place is occupied by a collection of beautiful carpets from Persia, which was presented by the Shahs of the Safavid dynasty.
