Yeşil Türbe, Ottoman mausoleum in Bursa, Turkey.

The Green Tomb stands 25 meters tall with a hexagonal base structure, covered in green-blue tiles and crowned by a hemispheric dome.

Sultan Murad II commissioned this mausoleum in 1421 to honor his father Mehmed I, during a period when Bursa served as the Ottoman capital.

The interior houses eight sarcophagi, including Sultan Mehmed I's central tomb, decorated with Iznik tiles featuring Koranic inscriptions and floral patterns.

Visitors can access the mausoleum through the main entrance portal on Yesil Cadessi street, which connects to other historical buildings in the complex.

The mihrab wall displays an intricate garden scene with roses, carnations, and hyacinths created entirely from carefully arranged colored tiles.
