Muradiye Complex, Ottoman mosque complex in Bursa, Turkey.

The Muradiye Complex contains a mosque with two minarets, a madrasa, a hamam, and twelve royal tombs within a landscaped garden.

Sultan Murad II commissioned this complex in 1426 as the final mosque complex built by an Ottoman sultan in Bursa before moving the capital.

The tombs display exceptional examples of Iznik tiles in turquoise and dark blue, representing the evolution of Ottoman decorative arts.

The complex maintains regular visiting hours, with the Muradiye Calligraphy Museum located in the former madrasa building displaying traditional Ottoman artworks.

Forty members of the Ottoman dynasty rest in the twelve tombs, including Sultan Murad II in a deliberately simple tomb following his final wishes.
