During Day3 we visited a Mosque we happened to pass by.
According to Strolling Through Istanbul this use to be a church that had a side chapel with the first known documentation of Saint Francis's life (a mosaic) inside.
We tried to find the aforementioned chapel, but it didn't see to be there.
Though this mosque clearly use to be a church and was clearly very old.
Later that day, we went to the Archaeological Museum...
And we can across this.
A display of the frescos and mosaics formerly housed in the Mosque we had visited earlier that day.
... oh the irony...
