About Bursa

Bursa, below Mount Uludağ, was the first great capital of the Ottomans and is famed for green-tiled mosques, silk bazaars and thermal baths.

Bursa spreads across the lower slopes of Uludağ in north-western Turkey, and in the early fourteenth century it became the first great capital of the Ottoman state. The Ulu Cami, a vast mosque roofed with twenty domes, anchors the old centre. To the east, the Yeşil Cami and the Yeşil Türbe are lined with blue and green tiles, and the Koza Han, a silk traders' inn, surrounds a courtyard where cocoons were once sold.
