Magok-i-Attari Mosque
Najlepší čas na návštevu
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.
Tipy na rozpočet
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.

O
Rýchle fakty: Budova z 12. storočia bola kedysi zoroastriánskym chrámom, potom synagógou, kým sa stala mešitou. Názov znamená "mešita v jame", pretože jej vchod leží viac ako 4 metre pod dnešnou úrovňou ulice.
Zaujímavosti: Tehlový vzor zdobiaci juhozápadnú fasádu mešity je tak starostlivo vypracovaný, že medzi 800-ročnými hlinenými tehlami nie je vidieť ani jednu vrstvu malty. V 10 metrov hlbokom výkope pod vchodom sa našli pohanské symboly plodnosti a obrovská kostra 4-metrového hovädzieho dobytka, ktoré svedčia o tisícročnej sakrálnej minulosti budovy.
Insiderské tipy
- 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.
