Muradiye Complex
Osmangazi, Bursa
A peaceful complex known as the 'Ottoman dynastic cemetery', with Murad II's mosque and twelve tombs in its garden.
Its story
The Muradiye Complex was founded by Murad II in 1425–1426 together with a mosque, madrasa, soup kitchen (imaret) and hammam. Over time its large garden became a burial ground for members of the dynasty. Murad II's simple tomb, left open to the sky at his own wish, and the tombs of Cem Sultan, Şehzade Mustafa and Şehzade Ahmed are located here. İznik tiles and painted decoration stand out in the tombs' interiors. The garden full of cypresses and plane trees is one of the city's most peaceful corners and a component of the Bursa and Cumalıkızık UNESCO site.
