Magok-i-Attari Mosque
أفضل وقت للزيارة
It is worth coming in the early afternoon, when the sun lights up the brick pattern of the southwestern facade from directly in front. In winter, almost no one comes here; in summer, the deep inner courtyard offers a cool refuge from the midday heat.
نصائح للميزانية
The facade with its special brick pattern can be viewed completely free of charge from the outside, and you can see most of the sights here from the outside. Its inner courtyard is usually closed to tourists, but with a ticket for the neighboring carpet museum (about 20,000 sum) they sometimes let you in.

حول
حقائق سريعة: El edificio del siglo XII fue una vez un templo zoroástrico, luego una sinagoga, antes de convertirse en mezquita. El significado de su nombre es "la mezquita del pozo", ya que su entrada se encuentra a más de 4 metros por debajo del nivel actual de la calle.
النقاط البارزة: El patrón de ladrillos que adorna la fachada suroeste de la mezquita está tan meticulosamente elaborado que no se ve ninguna capa de mortero entre los ladrillos de barro de 800 años de antigüedad. En la excavación de 10 metros de profundidad bajo la entrada, aparecieron símbolos paganos de fertilidad y un enorme esqueleto de bovino de 4 metros que atestiguan el pasado sagrado de varios miles de años del edificio.
نصائح من الداخل
- Look for the 12-meter-high carved wooden columns on the facade: they have blackened over the centuries, but their decoration is still sharp today.
- To the right of the entrance, at the base of the wall, you can see ancient Sogdian carvings in a small recess.
- Do not approach from the main entrance, but start on foot from the Lyab-i Hauz pool: in the narrow alleyway, the sunken facade suddenly appears before you unexpectedly.
- From the terrace of the teahouse opposite, you can take a perfect photo of the entire mosque in the afternoon light.
