I think these managed to escape pretty much, though there are plenty that were covered up -those tended to be faces and pictures of angels etc. Thanks for looking !

I really want to see this in person, I've heard and read so many accounts of it. Nice picture, Were these one of the ones covered by Mehmed II's orders, or were they left untouched?

Very nice shot, I like the perspective. Its just awsome, especially the colors and the great preservation within the corridors. Well done!
