the large disks of calligraphy show themselves to be dissapointingly flimsy, but delightfully tacked-on. odd to think this was almost incidentally a church when islam took it over... they didn't care that it had been christian, it may of well had been a stadium (not literally, but the feeling was there). more early mosaics, amazingly expressive while remaining obviously tiles of colored glass (unlike the popehaus in rome). some partially restored, others still preserved under plaster.
