A dome in the Magok-i-Attari Mosque, Bukhara, Uzbekistan.
‘one of the oldest surviving mosques in Central Asia and one of the few surviving buildings in Bukhara from the time before the Mongol invasion. … Today, the mosque is used as a carpet museum. …
The floor of the mosque is about 4.50 meters below the Earth's surface. This is the reason for the mosque being called 'maghākī' which is Persian for "in a ditch" or "in a pit".’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magok-i-Attari_Mosque
