Constructed in 1424, the Yesil Mosque or Green Mosque is so named due to the turquoise tiles used on its adornments, for which it is most famous.

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.

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.

I prayed zuhur here, just the opposite of Green Tomb. The interior is not much as Great Mosque of Bursa but very nice and peaceful, clean and neat. Not so many people, unlike Green Tomb.

Tou can take a picture of unique swerling dervish and a bird.

Amazing structure with fully functional mosque for ladies & men. Stunning artwork on ceiling! Very calm & peaceful while inside the mosque and around its vicinity. The mosque was built in 1421. Worth visiting

This mosque is beautiful and its surroundings are so peaceful. However, we made the mistake of seeing this first before the rest of Bursa and it all seemed dull compared to the beauty and atmosphere of this mosque. We recommend a narguille and Turkish tea at yesil bahce after its visit

There's nothing special in this mosque when you are outside. But when you come inside, it's "wow effect". Fantastic decoration, amazing colors, peaceful and quiet athmosphere. One of the most beautiful mosques I've ever seen.

The mosque might look average from the outside, but the inside design, decorations and distribution of spaces makes it very beautiful and unique, the basin in the middle is beautiful and adds to the serenity of the mosque.
