Yeşil Mosque Iznik, Ottoman mosque in Iznik, Turkey.
The Yeşil Mosque features a central dome measuring 10.5 meters in diameter, supported by marble columns and decorated with geometric patterns on its walls.
Constructed between 1378 and 1391 under Grand Vizier Çandarlı Kara Halil Hayreddin Pasha, the mosque was designed by architect Hacı bin Musa during Sultan Murad I's reign.
The mosque stands as an example of early Ottoman architecture, incorporating elements such as a three-bay portico and gray marble panels throughout the prayer hall.
Located near the Lefke Gate on Museum Street, the mosque remains open for daily prayers and welcomes visitors interested in examining its architectural details.
The minaret displays distinctive glazed terra-cotta tiles in green, yellow, turquoise, and dark purple colors, which influenced the mosque's name Yeşil, meaning green.
