The Green Mosque, also known as Yeşil Mosque, is located in Bursa, Turkey, and is a stunning example of early Ottoman architecture. Built between 1419 and 1421 by Sultan Mehmed I, the mosque is part of a larger complex that includes a mausoleum, a madrasa, and a bathhouse. The mosque gets its name from the exquisite green and turquoise tiles that adorn its interior, creating a serene and vibrant atmosphere. The intricate calligraphy and geometric designs are a testament to the high level of craftsmanship of the period.
