A church that was converted into a mosque and still retains some of the Christian gold leaf paintings. Lovely architecture. Do not miss the gold paintings near the entrance and the exit. Also watch out for the wear and tear of the marble stone at the door showing how pilgrims feet have eroded the floor. Some of the floor stones near the entrance have symmetrical designs - a path breaking idea of its time.
