Yeşil Mosque (Green Mosque, İznik)
İznik, Bursa
A 14th-century mosque commissioned by Çandarlı Kara Halil Hayreddin Paşa, a symbol of İznik with its tiled minaret.
Its story
Yeşil Mosque was built between 1378–1392 in the name of Çandarlı Kara Halil Hayreddin Paşa. Its architect was Hacı bin Musa. This single-domed building with a portico (son cemaat yeri) is one of the finest examples of early Ottoman architecture, with its marble workmanship and elegant proportions. The minaret that gives the mosque its name is clad in green and turquoise glazed bricks and tiles; the present cladding was renewed in later repairs. It shares the same square as the nearby Nilüfer Hatun İmaret.
