Grand Mosque - Bursa
The Grand Mosque of Bursa, built in 1399, was the last monumental example of Ulucami--- a mosque design based on a series of parallel domes supported on piers, which later Ottoman architects abandoned in favour of a single central dome.
The effect of the interior is very different (and we think more impressive) than better known mosques of the Ottoman Classical period verses in Istanbul and Edirne.
A matchless collection of Arabic calligraphy, mostly verses of the Qur'an, decorate the mosque interior.
