This mosque was built in 1339, just 13 years after the conquest of the city by the Orhan, son of Osman who captured Bursa and made it the first Ottoman capital. The mosque has been repeatedly restored. It has a T-form ground plan.

The picture reveals the T-shaped ground plan of the mosque (which becomes a ‘reverse T’, if you look to the building from the north, where the facade and the entrance are).
