Bursa Yesil (green) Turbesi

view map

Opposite the Green Mosque is the Yesil or Green Türbe (tomb) for Mehmet I. It dates from the early 15th century.

These tiles in the niche of the mihrab display a late-Ottoman design. They were made in Kütahya, and placed during a 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.
