Bursa - Muradiye Camii

 
The Muradiye Camii, just to the west of the city center of Bursa, was built by the Sultan Murat II (after whom it is named) in 1447, by which time Bursa had ceased to be the capital of the Ottoman Empire. A forecourt with cypresses and a beautiful fountain leads via a portico, carried on piers and columns, with a doorway and four windows, to the inner hall, its ceiling clad with rare and beautiful tiles.

In the gardens of the mosque are ten polygonal domed türbes, their entrances sheltered under overhanging roofs, belonging to Murat II and members of his family.
