Built in the first half of the 19th century by Mohammad Saleh Baraghani, it was one of the most important Shia religious schools in Qajar Iran.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Salehiye School” as historic site in Qazvin, Iran. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Salehiye, School and historic.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 58-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Salehiye, School and historic providing the first useful test.

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Salehiye School”, the useful work is to connect “historic site in Qazvin, Iran” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5946113.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
