Bursa - Green Mosque Yesil Cami
|
|
Its sumptuous decoration makes the Green Mosque, a kilometer east of the city center of Bursa, one of the great master works of Ottoman religous architecture. It was built by Mehmet I between 1419 and 1423 on the site of an earlier Byzantine church. The original minarets, clad with green tiles, were destroyed in an earthquake in 1855, as was the marble vestibule.
