Khanom Mosque, built during the Qajar era, is a smaller but exquisitely decorated religious site in Zanjan. Its facade features intricate tilework with floral and geometric patterns, while the interior boasts a serene prayer hall with stucco decorations and a wooden pulpit. The mosque is named after a noblewoman who funded its construction, reflecting the role of women in historical patronage. Visitors appreciate its intimate scale and the craftsmanship of its mihrab (prayer niche) and minarets.
