Bursa's Must-See Landmarks

Bursa serves as a gateway to early Ottoman history, featuring the 14th-century Great Mosque with its twenty domes and the intricately tiled Green Mosque. The city's commercial heritage lives on in Koza Han, a 15th-century silk market. Beyond its religious architecture, Bursa is the birthplace of the İskender kebab and offers expansive views from the slopes of Uludağ. The Tofaş Anatolian Car Museum preserves regional transport history within a restored silk factory.
