Informationen zum Gebäude / zur Institution

The Yeşil Cami (Green Mosque) is part of a large religious building complex that includes, among other structures, a tomb (Yeşil Türbe) and a madrasa. It is located in Bursa, the Ottoman capital before the conquest of Edirne in the 760s AH / 1360s AD and of Constantinople in 857 AH / 1453 AD. It was commissioned by Sultan Mehmed I. (reigned 816–824 AH / 1413–1421 AD), and mainly built from 816–821/827 AH / 1412–1419/24 AD.
After severe damage caused by an earthquake in 1271 AH / 1855 AD, restoration works were carried out in the 1270s/1281860s with the collaboration of the French decorator Léon Parvillée.
