The green mausoleum of the fifth Sultan of the Ottoman Empire Mehmed I in the Turkish city of Bursa was built by his son and heir Murad II immediately after the death of the sovereign in 1421. According to the project of the architect Haji Ivash Pasha, the mausoleum itself and the mosque opposite it were developed.
Perched atop Yesil Hill among cypresses, the octagonal mausoleum, covered with a cone-shaped dome, stands taller than the rest of the complex.
Outside, the mausoleum of Mehmed I is lined with blue-green tiles, which explains his name. After the damage caused by the 1885 earthquake, most of the tiles were replaced with modern Kütahya tiles. On both sides of the entrance, a wonderful portal is crowned with an umbrella-shaped vault and marble niches decorated with patterns of yellow, white and blue tiles.
Carved wooden doors lead inside the mausoleum, where the imperial sarcophagus stands on a platform in the center, surrounded by seven other graves. It is lined with yellow, white and blue glazed tiles and richly decorated with calligraphic inscriptions. The lower part of the walls is lined with blue-green tiles, and chandeliers and colored glass were added to the Mausoleum much later.
