Bursa is the first capital of the Ottoman Empire and one of the most historically significant cities in Turkey — a city of 3 million inhabitants at the foot of Uludağ (the Great Mountain, 2,543 metres, the most important ski resort in northwestern Turkey) in the Marmara region, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List for its extraordinary ensemble of early Ottoman religious and funerary architecture. The Grand Mosque (Ulu Cami, 1399–1400, with 20 domes and the famous interior calligraphy and the şadırvan fountain inside the prayer hall), the Green Mosque (Yeşil Cami, 1419–1424, the supreme achievement of early Ottoman architecture with its extraordinary Bursa tile decoration) and the Green Tomb (Yeşil Türbe, the turquoise-tiled mausoleum of Sultan Mehmed I) form the most important cluster of pre-classical Ottoman monuments in existence.
Bursa's Kapalı Çarşı (the covered bazaar of Bursa) and the adjacent Koza Han (the Silk Cocoon Han, the most beautiful Ottoman caravanserai in Bursa, its two-storey courtyard with a small mosque and fountain the finest surviving example of a Bursa silk trading han) preserve the city's identity as the greatest centre of Ottoman silk production — the Bursa silk industry (responsible for much of the silk used in the Ottoman court and exported to Venice and Genoa in the 15th–17th centuries) is documented in the Bursa Silk Museum. Uludağ ski resort (accessible by cable car from the city, 32km of pistes) operates from December to April, and the Mudanya-Bursa road along the Marmara shore gives one of the finest coastal drives in northwestern Turkey.
First Ottoman Capital — Green Mosque UNESCO Heritage: Bursa (Ottoman capital 1326–1365) preserves the finest and most complete ensemble of early Ottoman architecture in existence — the Green Mosque and Green Tomb (1419–1424, UNESCO World Heritage), the Grand Mosque (Ulu Cami, 1399–1400, 20 domes), the Muradiye Mosque complex and the Koza Han give Bursa an Ottoman heritage of extraordinary quality that predates and in some ways surpasses the classical Istanbul period.
Uludağ — Northwest Turkey's Premier Ski Resort: Uludağ (2,543m, the 'Great Mountain' of Bithynia, accessible by cable car from Bursa city) is the most important ski resort in northwestern Turkey — its 32km of pistes (December–April), the extraordinary panoramic views over the Sea of Marmara and Istanbul from the summit ridge, and the Uludağ National Park alpine landscape give Bursa a natural dimension quite unlike any other city in the Marmara region.
