    Bursa Ulu Camii is an architectural masterpiece that captures the essence of Islamic art and culture. As I stepped into the mosque, I was immediately awestruck by its grandeur and majestic beauty. The intricate details of the calligraphy, geometric patterns, and exquisite tile work showcased the remarkable craftsmanship of the artisans. The spacious interior of the mosque provided a serene and peaceful atmosphere for prayer and reflection. The soft glow of natural light filtering through the stained glass windows added to the spiritual ambiance of the place. The sense of tranquility and reverence within the Ulu Camii was truly captivating. Not only is Bursa Ulu Camii a place of worship, but it also holds historical significance as one of the oldest and largest mosques in Turkey. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted traditions of Bursa. The courtyard and surrounding gardens further enhance the overall beauty of the mosque, providing a tranquil space for visitors to relax and soak in the peaceful ambiance. Visiting Bursa Ulu Camii was a truly enriching experience for me. It offered a glimpse into the rich history and architectural brilliance of Turkey's Islamic heritage. Whether you are a devout Muslim or simply appreciate the beauty of religious landmarks, Bursa Ulu Camii is a must-visit destination that will leave you in awe of its magnificence. Tansel Kaya

    One of the most historical places you can visit in Bursa. The grand mosque of Ottoman Empire’s capital before the conquest of Constantinople will leave you in awe. Majestic architectural monument with a calming yet impressive interior. It’s really worth a visit and it’s free of charge.

    Nice and historical mosque/masjid We visited here during Friday / jummuah prayer. It’s very crowded, better we come early if we want to pray inside mosque. Free taste and unique food has been shared outside mosque after Friday prayer. The fountain at the center mosque can be use for wudhu / ablutions. #mosque #masjid #Islam #Allah #historical #prayer #sholat

    The grand mosque of bursa is huge. It was built with the size of 20 mosque in one which explained the size and the number of domes. The restoration works made the mosque looks new. Most of the structures are restored. There is a fountain in the middle of mosque but it is only for men.

    The Ulu Cami'i Mosque is a prominent landmark in downtown Bursa, Turkiye. The mosque opened in 1399 and was built in the Seljuk architectural style of the early Ottoman empire. There are 20 mosque domes, and it has a mihrab that is centuries old. The exterior of this building is made of stone. A flowering fountain is located in the tower's forecourt, the two towers look identical, but were built at different times. The West tower was built as part of the original construction, while the East tower was built by Sultan Mehmet I in the 15th century. Read

    Whether you're a history buff, an admirer of architectural wonders, or simply love exploring new places, the Grand Mosque of Bursa offers a richly rewarding experience. You'll walk away with not just memories, but also a greater understanding and appreciation of Ottoman period architecture and culture. The most unique feature of the mosque is the inclusion of a “fountain” (şadırvan) used for wudhu in the center of the masjid, which is very unusual for a mosque. The sound of the water from the central fountain contributes to a serene and contemplative atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Eve N. 2 years ago on Google
    This enormous Seljuk-style shrine (1399) is Bursa's most dominant and durable mosque. Sultan Beyazıt I built it in a monumental compromise – having pledged to build 20 mosques after defeating the Crusaders in the Battle of Nicopolis, he settled for one mosque, with 20 small domes. Two massive minarets augment the domes, while the giant square pillars and portals within are similarly impressive. The mimber (pulpit) boasts fine wood carvings, and the walls feature intricate calligraphy.Bursa's Karagöz shadow-puppet theatre reportedly began with Ulu Camii's construction.

    Ulucamii is a famous historical mosque from Ottoman Empire, built in 1399. A very peaceful place, try to time your visit at prayer times, supplication after prayers by Imam is worth to attend.

    It is a must see place when visiting Turkey. Holy place with fascinating architecture and history. Free to enter but if you arrive during prayer time women need to enter from one entrance and men from another. Inside there are in separate areas.

    A wonderful mosque with more simplistic approach compared to the famous istanbul ones. The mosque presents many highlights mainly in calligraphic forms and a foundation at the centre used additionally for ablution. It’s located centrally and easy to find.

    Beautiful. Very family and visitor friendly place to see Bursa’s historic Grand Mosque. Do remember a headscarf for women, modest dress, and to remove your shoes before stepping into any carpet.

  • 5/5 Vamos 1. 1 year ago on Google
    A grand mosque indeed but so different from many others in Turkey and around the world. The glass dome is interesting to see in the mosque, also the calligraphy is painted rather than using the mosaic or tiles. A bold design, kind of rectangle in shape and with a ablution fountain in the middle of the mosque. A nice place to visit or pray.

  • 5/5 Classified I. 4 years ago on Google
    Very large and beautiful Masjid in the heart of Bursa. If you are a fan of domes and Islamic artwork then you will be in for a treat. This Masjid has a slew of domes and each one is spectacularly decorated on the inside. There is also a beautiful fountain in the center where you can cleanse yourself in order to pray. Above this fountain is a dome with many small windows that allow a portion of sunlight to shine down onto the fountain.
