Very nice, but what is it?
Reminds me of the inside of an old fashion bread oven...

@Otis_Scops Ha ha, you're close. It is an oven, but it is an oven for making charcoal. It's looking up at the top of one of the Ward Charcoal Ovens near Pioche, Nevada.

@elaterite
It's just that I live inPortugal, where you still find plenty of those ovens, many still in use

@elaterite
Yes, baking is often a big event. It takes hours to heat up but then you can also bake for hours. Starting with pizza's for example when the oven is still extremely hot, then, bread and stuff that needs a lower temperature. Finally they dry fruit like figs in them when most of the heat is gone.
