Emir Sultan Camii
A mosque and mausoleum dedicated to Emir Sultan, Bursa's patron saint. It is in the Ottoman Baroque style and attracts many pilgrims.
Emir Sultan was the son-in-law of Bayezid I and a Sufi scholar, and is regarded as the spiritual guardian of Bursa. The present mosque was rebuilt in the 19th century in the Ottoman Baroque style. The mausoleum, courtyard and historic cemetery are on the eastern hillside, a quiet spot with views over the city. It is a popular place for locals to pray, especially on Fridays and religious holidays, when it can be crowded. Entry is free. Dress modestly. It is about a 15-minute walk from the Green Mosque.
