The Grand Mosque of Bursa, built in the late 14th century, is a masterpiece of Seljuk architecture. Its 20 domes create a spacious interior, while the walls are adorned with exquisite calligraphy, including a famous panel of the 99 names of Allah. Visitors can admire the ornate wooden pulpit and the central fountain used for ablutions. The mosque remains an active place of worship, so guests should dress modestly and visit respectfully.
