The mosaics and frescoes in this church were amazing. Instead of destroying the artwork when the church was converted into a mosque, the art was just painted over, protecting it for hundreds of years. The mosaics illustrate the story of Mary. The frescoes portray the life of Christ as well as other scenes from the Old and New Testaments. I took many, many pictures. Here are some of the better ones.
