Green Mosque (Yeşil Camii)
Yeşil Camii
Completed in 1421 and famous for its walls of Iznik green and blue tiles, it is the peak of early Ottoman architecture.
The Green Mosque was built under Mehmed I. It takes its name from the vast expanses of green and blue glazed tiles inside. The tiles and carvings of the sultan's loge and the mihrab are exceptionally fine, and the mosque is a core part of Bursa's World Heritage property. Opposite stands the Green Tomb, and beside it the Green Madrasa, which now houses the Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum. Entry is free, but mind the prayer times and dress requirements. It is about a 20-minute walk from the city centre, and teahouses nearby offer views over the city.
