Muradiye Mosque
Muradiye Camii
A hilltop mosque built by Murad II, with the finest early Ottoman Iznik blue-and-white tiles inside.
The Muradiye Mosque was built in 1435–1436 and was originally a Mevlevi Sufi monastery before being converted into a mosque. Its exterior is plain, but the interior around the mihrab is inlaid with 15th-century Iznik blue-and-white and multicoloured tiles, which are regarded as representative of early Ottoman tile art. It sits on a small hill in the northeast of the city and overlooks the Selimiye Mosque. It is about a 15-minute walk from the Selimiye. Entry is free, though opening hours are sometimes restricted.
