Question subordinate clauses are connected to the main clause with か. Example: I don’t know what he ate would be 彼が何を食べたか知らない – dvx2718 Aug 01 '21 at 13:01

This construction is called an embedded question. See: Usage of か after a clause? – naruto Aug 02 '21 at 06:46

どこにあるか is an embedded question: Where is it?
知っていますか is the main sentence: Do you know?
Putting these two together, you get
Do you know where it is?
