Tomb of Cem Sultan, Ottoman royal tomb in Osmangazi, Bursa, Turkey.

The tomb stands within the Muradiye Complex and features a hexagonal plan with sides measuring approximately 23 feet (7 meters) each, decorated with brick and stone patterns.

Built around 1479 for Prince Mustafa, the tomb became the final resting place of Cem Sultan, son of Mehmed the Conqueror, who died in exile in Italy in 1495 after losing a succession struggle.

The interior displays turquoise and navy blue Iznik tiles with hand-drawn motifs from the 16th and 19th centuries, demonstrating Ottoman craftsmanship and the artistic traditions of the period.

The site is accessible by public transportation from Bursa city center and forms part of the larger Muradiye Complex, which includes several other historic Ottoman tombs and buildings.

Cem Sultan composed Divan poetry during his years of captivity in European castles, expressing themes of sorrow and exile while maintained as a diplomatic hostage by Western powers.
