Grand Mosque of Bursa (Ulu Cami)
Bursa Ulu Camii
Completed in 1399, this early Ottoman mosque has twenty domes. Its interior calligraphy walls and ablution fountain are unique.
The Grand Mosque was commissioned by Bayezid I. Its twenty small domes are supported by twelve massive columns, making it a leading example of early Ottoman multi-domed mosques. It is part of the World Heritage property “Bursa and Cumalıkızık.” Inside, the walls and columns are covered with large panels of Arabic calligraphy, and a marble ablution fountain stands beneath the central dome. Entry is free, but visitors are not admitted during prayer times. Women must cover their hair, and both men and women should dress modestly, with clothing covering the knees. The Koza Han and the Grand Bazaar are right outside, so you can combine them into a half-day walk through the old town.
