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 countrys 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 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.
Green Tomb

samples of Ottoman tomb architecture. Octagonal structure, to which
you can climb via a marble stair, is covered by a 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
