The Green Mosque was built in 1413, which is older than the Blue Mosque in Istanbul!
This was also the turning point for Turkish mosque architecture to adopt classical Ottoman architectural styles.
A large number of green tiles are used to decorate the interior, making the temple solemn and solemn.
This is where Muslims pray every day!

Attractive from the outside, we were delighted to find that it was still open at 6.45pm. The interior has some beautiful features including the fountain(?) but of course the famous blue/green tiling and indeed other wall decoration is the highlight.

This beautiful mosque is known as the green mosque due to the wonderful tiles. Though this is not a large one and there are better examples of tiles in Istanbul in the Blue Mosque for example, the building and artist expression in the tiles is worth the visit. Further up from the mosque is the tomb of Mehmed the 1st. This too has exquisite tiles.

In my opinion - and I know lots of people will disagree - mosques in general are more picturesque and exciting from the outside ; often they are a fairly plain open space inside, sparsely decorated.
The Mosque of Mehmed I is an exception : outside 2 elegant minarets and iwan with elaborate muqarnas, inside a white marble fountain with a pool beneath the central dome and sensational turquoise mihrab niche. Chandelier, dome, colored glass windows, calligraphy . . . it really is a masterpiece.

Combined with the Turbe, i.e. the mausoleum, of the same name (Yesil = green), this mosque is one of the most notable attractions of the city, second only to the Muradiye complex, located in another district of Bursa. If you manage to visit it in one of the rare moments in which it is not crowded with large groups of visitors of various nationalities accompanied by chatty guides, beyond the beauty of the walls covered with ceramic tiles, it also gives a sense of spirituality. Which, these days, doesn't hurt.

Obviously opinions are subjective, but I think this is the most beautiful mosque in Bursa. The mosque sits near the Green Tomb, on a height overlooking the city. The tiles look more blue than green, but are tastefully and beautifully done, and the mosque is a peaceful place. It can be visited by tourists, although of course respectful behaviour must be observed. It was built by Mehmed I, who re-established Ottoman rule after the defeat of the previous Sultan by Tamerlane.

Relatively located central in Bursa. One of the most important to visit . If there was a Blue mosque in Istanbul this was a Green one. It is in the tiles , the tomb. But please be wary that in visiting this place of worship , protocols must be strictly followed.

Near Yeşil Türbe, Green Mosque is also quite famous with its marvelous tiles. Its impressiveness is less visible outside and more striking inside. Constructed by Ivaz Pasa, the mosque's delicate workmanship is visibly unfinished in certain areas both outside and inside of the Mosque. No reason can be traced to this astonishing aspect. When compared with other impressive monuments of the city, Green Mosque is less grandiose but it definitely deserves a highly praised place in early Ottoman architectural style.

We were at a loss from which angle to take pictures of this fantastic mosque. Do go there close to golden hour for best pictures. The area is very well maintained and has an old vibe to it with a park for families and tourists to sit and admire the work. Don't miss visiting the Green tomb which is simply at the back of the mosque.
