Magoki Attari Mosque

Magoki Attari is the oldest mosque in Bukhara, which has survived to us. The mosque is located on the site of the sanctuary of pagan peoples near the central square of Bukhara Lyabi House. The exterior of the building was restored by restorers and is a vivid example of the ancient architecture of Uzbekistan. Among the features of the appearance can be noted the entrance to the mosque in the form of an arch framed by double columns. The walls are decorated with the original pre-Islamic ornament. Over time, the mosque partially went underground, so the inner rooms are lower, because of this it is called the “mosque in the pit”.
