 mosque, islam, interesting place, listed building / architectural heritage
Before the construction of the first synagogue Jews had shared a place in a mosque with Muslims. This mosque was called Magak-i Attari, i.e. "the mosque in a pit". Some say that Bukharian Jews and Muslims worshiped alongside each other in the same place at the same time. Other sources insist that Jews worshiped after Muslims.

Before the Arab conquest there was a bazaar on the site of Magak-i Attari. It was a market for idols, potions and spices – attar (perfumes) and other goods.
