The Aya Sophia (Hagia Sophia) was originally a church built in 342 AD, but when the muslims took over Istanbul, they converted it to a mosque.  The plastered over and repainted all of the original mosaics, BUT, before they did, they documented all of them.  They are now in the process of restoring the mosacs to their original condition.
