The Magoki Attari Mosque is one of the most interesting ancient monuments of medieval architecture; a column-domed mosque of the 12th—16th centuries in the historical center of Bukhara. Located more than 4.5 meters below ground level, it is interesting for its carved decor. Zoroastrian symbols remained on the mosque. It's worth a visit.

The mosque was converted from a temple after the arrival of Masulman. I wonder what kind of bricks the entrance group and the columns themselves are made of. The work of the craftsmen is quite subtle. We were not inside, the guides said that everything was as usual. The mosque is located quite below the main street level, as excavations of the past cultural layers of Bukhara have been carried out. The mosque's appearance is not gloomy at all, and there are much more photopattractive mosques and madrassas next to it.

One of the oldest preserved mosques in Bukhara, built on the site of the Zoroastrian temple of the Moon and survived the invasion of Genghis Khan. Elements of pre-Islamic architecture have been preserved. It is located 4.5 meters below ground level, for which it was nicknamed the mosque in the pit. It currently houses either a carpet museum or is undergoing restoration.
