Tossing aside religion and politics — from an engineering and architectural viewpoint, the building is beautiful.

WAY, WAY up at the top of the mosque there IS a mosaic of Mary. It is quite beautiful and in excellent condition. But then mosaics are pretty sturdu.

We visited Turkey and the stop at this mosque-once-a-church was a must.
The Turks changed it all, of course, but that was in 1453...even before the English came to America.
