Bursa: The First Capital of Ottoman Empire. Osman
Bey, who was born in a town of Bursa, conquered the towns
around Bursa in 1299 and this is the year regarded as the
founding of the Ottoman Empire, which was to survive for
over six hundred years. (The word Ottoman is derived from
his name, Osman) Bursa is located in the northwest of the
Anatolian peninsula and southeast of the Marmara Sea. The
shores of the Marmara Sea are 135 km away. The most
important peak in the province is Uludag (Legendary Mount
Olympus), which is a ski resort and national park.
Mount Uludag (Misios Olympos) :
Uludag (2543 m), 36km south of Bursa, is one of the
country’s favorite winter sports centers and as well as
skiing, its richness of flora and fauna has made it into a
National Park and summer activities like trekking and
camping are also popular. Uludag was previously known as
Olympus Misios in ancient times, and is known in mythology
as the place where the gods watched the Trojan war.
Ulucami: (Grand Mosque of Bursa)
It was constructed between 1396 and 1400 by Sultan Bayezit,
fully made up of cut stone, with very thick and high walls,
12 heavy four edged grade, with pendantives as of 20 domes.
It is the most classical and monumental sample of the multi
- domed mosques. It has the biggest size (318 square meters)
among all of the Turkish mosques with its rich and roomy
space.
Green (Yesil) Mosque:
Constructed between 1419 and 1420, It is called Green Mosque
due to the green turquoise tiles used on adornments. It is
one of the most important Ottoman period structure in Bursa,
and the mosque is famous with its adornments much more than
its architecture.

samples of Ottoman tomb architecture. Octagonal structure,

lead dome perched on a high hoop. It is a unique structure
with its tile adornments. Its fully tile covered balcony is
a master piece of art. One of the most beautiful samples of
