Bursa Ulu Mosque | Biivip

Bursa Ulu Mosque was built during the reign of Yıldırım Bayezid, between 1396-1400. It is the first of the multi-domed structures among the mosques of the Ottoman period. Ulu Mosque has twenty domes. After Yıldırım Bayezid's 1396 victory in Niğbolu, the construction of the Great Mosque was started. The first imam of the Great Mosque is Süleyman Çelebi, the author of Mevlid.

The fountain under the dome in the mosque has a hexagonal pool and a fountain with three bowls. The inscription on the pulpit gate states the mosque's completion date as 1399-1400. The minaret in the west direction of the mosque, which has two minarets, was built during the time of Yıldırım Bayezid, and the minaret in the east direction was built during the reign of Çelebi Sultan Mehmed.

The black cloth hung on a high place adjacent to the Imam's room is the cover of the Kaaba door. Yavuz Sultan Selim, who became the caliph after the Egyptian Campaign, changed the cover of the Kaaba with a new cover sent from Istanbul. Yavuz brought the old cover to Bursa and gave it to the Ulu Mosque as a gift and carried it with his own hands and hung it. The veil, with verses embroidered on it with pure gold thread, remained black for centuries; however, the verses can be seen under bright light today, as the embroideries have been spilled upon the humidity of the mosque.
