Bursa Green Tomb May 2014 7475.jpg

On the picture: The tiles that adorn the platform of the royal catafalque display a row of small mihrabs, filled with stylised poppies and lotus flowers. These tiles were made in Kütahya, and placed during a later restoration in the 19th or 20th century.
The Yeşil Türbe (or some part of it) was repaired numerous times: 1623, 1645, 1684, 1768, 1770, 1775, 1818, 1825, 1863, 1907, 1941, 1943-45 and 2004.
