Tophane & Tombs of Osman and Orhan
Tophane, Osman Gazi ve Orhan Gazi Türbeleri
The tombs of Osman and Orhan, the first two sultans of the Ottoman Empire. A clock tower park nearby offers views over the whole city.
Tophane sits on the hill of the old Bursa citadel. The tombs of Osman I, founder of the Ottoman Empire, and his son Orhan stand side by side here. The buildings as they are today were rebuilt after the earthquake of 1863. The nearby Tophane Clock Tower and park are a city viewpoint, with views of the old town's rooftops, minarets and, in the distance, Uludağ. Sections of the city walls survive nearby. The tombs are free to visit, but you must remove your shoes and dress modestly. It is about a 10-minute uphill walk from the Grand Mosque.
