Bursa Grand Mosque
Bursa's Ulu Cami (Grand Mosque) sits amid the city's central market area, so a visit can be easily incorporated into your exploration of the neighborhood.
The mosque dates from 1399 in the early days of the Ottoman Empire, so its architecture still leans towards the earlier Seljuk style, which took much of its influence from Persian mosques.
It's most recognizable for its roof, resplendent with 20 domes. This unique stylistic feature is claimed to have been built because Sultan Beyazit I, who commissioned the mosque, had promised to build 20 mosques, but later decided that was a little too ambitious and instead installed 20 domes on this one.
