Frescos in Church Mosque

Have you ever imagined to see Orthodox frescos of Mother Mary and Jesus in a mosque? Fertek (Fertakaina) Mosque was a Karamanlis Church of Archangelos Michael & Gabriel built by Kara Maho oğlu Hajji Nikola in 1835 in Fertek, Cappadocia, Turkey. The church has been a mosque since the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923. However its architecture and frescos were left intact simply covering with curtains.
