BURSA, IN THE
EYES OF
TRAVELERS
Bursa, renowned as "Green Bur-
sa" due to its natural richness,
greeneries, 833 monumental tre-
es varying between ages of 100-
600, and curative thermal
springs, has been a focus of inte-
rest for many historians and tra-
velers as it is today.
Example; Dr. Bernard, upon co-
ming to Bursa in 1940's describes
the city as follows:
"Bursa is a corner, where most
beautiful nature of our world is
presented. The greenery and
freshness of spring, the sheer
beauty of the plains and fields,
the beauty of its waters and air,
fills one with joy. The heat of the
sun lessens with the cool bree-
zes of mountains. The Air of
Bursa is very mild because plains
and fields are bathed with water
flowing down from the foots of
the mountains.
Richard Pockocke describes the
view he had seen in Bursa in
these words: "This mixture, com-
posed of trees and mulberry tre-
es generates the most beautiful
view of the world".
According to George William,
Bursa presents an attractive sight
at every step for its visitors: "The
city arises from a plain full of cy-
press trees. There are vine-
yards, fig trees, black mulber-
ries, and tiny snow-white
minarets rising as if from
behind of every tree.
Overlooking all these beauties,
Uluda stands like a monument
with its steep cliffs. Whilst we re-
sume our march under the fami-
liar sky of Anatolia, beneath such
a splendid sunset, among a co-
lorful symphony of black mul-
berries and cypresses blending
with numerous colors of the sky,
the rocks were getting pinkier
along with the fading of the
lights. Everything is absolutely
oriental, everything is absolutely
enchanting".
The scene Ekrem Reit Rey des-
cribed during the first years of
the republic is not different from
these: "Everywhere is matc-
hlessly green in spring as if a
green sun is shining around. You
can find every tone and shade of
green converging with each ot-
her in this medley of greenery.
When a traveler comes to Bursa,
he all of a sudden feels himself
in a scene belonging to a few
centuries past. This river of gree-
nery, rustling with the slightest
breeze, is sensitive than a real ri-
ver".
The scenes Miss Pardoe saw in
Bursa are far beautiful than the
others: "Never passed through
such a splendid city. Plains, ex-
panding without limits, were
spread towards the skirts of gi-
ant-like trees. I had recited the
beauty of wild flowers in my litt-
le book about Portugal. But here
I realized that Anatolian wild flo-
wers are more beautiful than
them. Picturesque flower sap-
lings, herbs with indefinable
odors, and trees with flowers
from every color
were li-
ned in our way. Lilac colored la-
den trees with a golden spot in
the middle, snow-white henna
trees with their odorous coco-
ons, wild althea flowers with fa-
ded-pink and white-leafed mal-
low flowers, sky-blue Turquoise
flowers like daisies, bee-hive flo-
wers spurted out of the rocks,
becoming more gorgeous with
the surrounding rocks as if
symbolizing good, fighting aga-
inst harsh cruelties of evil; a
bright yellow flower called as
the "kaynanadili" (prickly pear)
due to its ever-moving leaves.
Wild roses, faded-pink colored
but a little small (due to its culti-
vation in Europe) love flowers
and many more flowers we do
not know were crammed the ro-
ads and fields. The butterflies
were small. They had dark co-
lors and there were many of
them. The birds surrounding us
were of various kinds as well."
Von Moltke describes the Bursa
Plain as a fertile land with light-
green leaves extending every-
where as far as eye can see:
"The far away scenery of the
sight is as magnificent as the cor-
diality of the closer parts. The
grapes in the flower fills the air
with an odor of mignonet-
te flowers and the
smell of
abundant
honey-
suckles and a flower I dont
know, contributes to this sym-
phony of odors. It is really very
difficult to decide which of the
Ottoman capitals, the surroun-
dings of old one or the new one,
namely surroundings of Bursa or
Istanbul, is more beautiful. Istan-
bul enchants people with its seas
and Bursa makes the same effect
with its landscapes. One of them
is ornamented with blue and the
other with green. Vines entangle
around giant trees' trunks and
their branches. Then extends to
earth again. Furthermore, the
honeysuckles and ivies with
flowers plunge onto vines.
Never seen such a vast and to-
tally green sight except Lubenau
tower overlooking the
Spreewald. Moreover, the flora is
richer here and there are great
mountains bordering the plain."
Yet another traveler named
Baptistin Poujoulat said, Bursa
was like one of the extraordinary
cities cited in fairy tales.Robert
Walshs remarks about the city
are even more interesting:
Nature has virtually created
Bursa especially for the Turks.
BURSA
STEP BY STEP
A History of 7200 Years
Bursa, situated at southeast of
the Marmara sea with a populati-
on of 2.500.000, is the fourth lar-
gest city of Turkey.
Bilecik in east, zmit, Yalova, s-
tanbul and the Marmara sea in
north, Eskiehir, Ktahya in east
and Balikesir cities in west, sur-
round Bursa.
With an altitude of 155 meters
from the sea Bursa has a mild
climate. The warmest months of
the city are from July to Septem-
ber and the coldest months are
from January to March.
It is probable to consider Bursa
as the gate of Anatolia to West,
because of its location. Situated
at the gateway from stanbul to
Anatolia especially to Mediterra-
nean and Aegean coast areas,
one can easily arrive Bursa thro-
ugh zmir, Ankara, Konya and
other city highways. Because it
is on cross gateways one can ar-
rive Bursa and depart to other
cities easily with almost hourly
transport facilities.
Arrivals from stanbul are both
through sea and highway. You
can either arrive to Gzelyal
and Yalova by fast ferry-boat de-
parting from Yenikap or by Da-
rca-Eskihisar ferry through Yalo-
va to Bursa.
It takes 75 minutes by fast ferry
from Istanbul Yenikap to Gzel-
yal and from there you can re-
ach zmir in 4 hours on high-
way.
It is also possible to arrive at
Bursa through air by a private jet
or helicopter.

danya, Trilye, Cumalkzk, Misi
in short with a history of 7200
years Bursa is among the first
places to be visited.
Bursa, with its cultural, historical
values and natural beauties is a
unique place with tourism activi-
ties of 365 days presenting a tra-
ce of human history to each and
everyone who visits.
Bursa has been a settling place
long before history and with his-
torical and cultural bonds, ther-
mal springs, belief tourism, natu-
ral beauties, winter sports it is a
city having the potential of alter-
native tourism in Marmara regi-
on.
Bursa is among the leading cities
with regard to belief tourism for
it has acted as a cradle to many
civilizations and faiths. The 1st
and 7th consuls were held in z-
nik at Bursa in 325 and 787.
Therefore znik is one of the 8
sacred pilgrimage centers for
Christians. Ulu Mosque, conside-
red by Muslims as the fifth post
after Mecca, Medina and Jerusa-
lem is in Bursa. Also the tombs
of dervishes as Somuncu Baba
and Emir Sultan Buhari who had
the priority of girding the Sultans
with swords, are in Bursa.
Bursa with regards to thermal
tourism and its springs of hea-
ling powers is not only well
known in Turkey but also thro-
ugh Europe. These thermal
springs offered curative water
containing sulfur and steel to vi-
sitors for centuries.
Bursa is unique for its cultural
and natural values. Uluda as-
cending nearby is the peak of
the beauty of Green Bursa. Ulu-
da is also one of the note-
worthy skiing and trekking cen-
ters of Turkey. Kltrpark, Bota-
nical Park and Zoo and many ot-
her parks within the city have
added to greens to greenness of
Bursa.
In point of historical identity and
architectural heritage values,
Bursa is compatible with most
cities of Europe. The architectu-
ral structures that were construc-
ted at the times of the first six
Ottoman Sultans, enabled the
whole city to be perceived as an
open-air museum.

Living Ottoman Village:
CUMALIKIZIK
It is one of the five villages outs-
kirts of the Uluda, located in
the east of Bursa, 13 km to Bur-
sa on road to Ankara. It is part
of the foundation Orhan Gazi.
Cumalkzk, one of the most im-
portant examples of rural archi-
tecture from the Ottoman Peri-
od, has preserved its traditional
fabric for 700 years. It was kept
under protection by regulation
in 1980. Preparations for conver-
ting rooms in every house in the
village into house motels have
been carried on. Brochures of
Cumalkzk are presented both
in national and international fa-
irs.
Houses in Cumalkzk have two
or three floors. They can be en-
tered through the courtyard by
the wooden gate. The base of
the courtyard is made of stone
and soil. The color of walls are
generally yellow, blue, white,
purple and green. There is no
window at the entry due to pri-
vacy. Windows are found in
unoccupied rooms. Fifty seven
houses out of two hundred and
seventy are examples of certified
civilian architecture. Besides,
there is a mosque, a bath and
two sycamores and a fountain
found in Cumalkzk. We advise
you to have breakfast in the 700
year old Ottoman village just 20
minutes away from Bursa. You

people you can stay in one of
the houses in the village and
have a chance to try different
tastes, taking photos while expe-
riencing the routines and
lifestyles of people. In
Cumalkzk there is an annual

of Misi is Misipolis. 12 km away
from the center of Bursa, under
registration of the Nilufer city
hall, there is an old, residential
area and an important place for
the Christians. It is forecasted
that Alex, a Monk and his 85 fri-
ends had come to the village Mi-
si as the pioneers of Christianity.

Bible was buried around this
church.

reshing.
ULUDA TOUR BY
ROPEWAY
Uluda is not only one of the
most important tourism, skiing
and enjoyment centers of Bursa
but also, of Turkey. It would be
a loss not to get on a ropeway

at the winter Uluda is the one
of the most popular place for
winter tourism. So it is highly re-
commended that to see Uluda
in winter.

NKAYA PLANE TREE
AND VILLAGE
If you want to go to Uluda by

akfast. Of course, it is better for
you to prefer the ropeway and
the taxi-bus rather than your
own car in winter. Your first
stop will be the nkaya Village
on the highway.

u to have breakfast under the
shadow of the 600 year old n-
kaya plane, which is 3 km away

rants on your way to Kirazlyay-
la. Also, you will see the Deer
Farm, where deer are protected
in the winter. Kirazlyayla is
spread from here to the Saralan

land, the way is divided into two
in the Kirazliyayla region. The
first way takes you to Saralan
and the second one takes you

Fount).You can see the Aras Wa-
terfall near there. From this villa-
ge, you can reach
from Keles to Ko-
cayayla, where the
Yrk Festivals
are held. Of cour-
se, you should ha-
ve a good jeep.

THE OTHER SIDE OF
ULUDA
Uluda is usually portrayed as a
winter sports area and a place of
skiing, that people of wealth go
for. But Uluda also has the ot-
her side. This other side virtually
is a cultural atlas including the
Yrk Villages. To observe and
testify the way of life of the Y-
rk natives, is one of the reasons
that attract most of the foreign
tourists, who visit Uluda.
Trips are held almost every we-
ek for wandering around the Y-
rk Villages. inasi and Uur e-
likkol brothers, who are experts
in the field of the lifestyles, ro-
utines, norms, traditions of Yo-
ruks organize weekly tours to
these villages.

chairlift of Hotel Kartanesi. You
can use the chair lift of 1,350
metres in length at the facility,
which is one of the longest lifts,
and borrowed from the Provinci-
al Directorate of Youth and
Sport. The ski run here has a
straight slope at first and then it
becomes smoother. It is recom-
mended for the advanced skiers.

tel which serve for the elemen-
tary and intermediate level ski-
ers. It you are a beginner it is re-
commended to take skiing les-
sons offered by the skiing school
located at the hotel.
The Hotel Beceren Chair Lift is
about 630 metres and the level
for the ski run is intermediate.
The Beceren is one of the most
crowded chairlifts of Uluda, it
consist of two lines lying side by
side. The ski run offers two
tracks with one leading to left si-
de to connect to the ski run of
the Kervansaray while the other
leads directly to the outskirts of
the mountain. Both tracks joins
on the below levels and con-
nects to the main track of the
Beceren Cafe.

zc is 670 metres. There may be
long queues in front of the lift

straight slope but the as the ski
run spreads to a large area the
difficulty rate decreases gradu-
ally. Whereas the Garan Chair
Lift is recommended for the ad-
vanced skiers. This lift leads to
Fatih Tepe. The rough and stra-
ight track that passes next to the
lift is only for the master degree
skiers.

pe is comfortable and fast. There

ward track next to the lift is ex-
tremely rough and difficult. For
the other two tracks it is needed
to cross the path after exiting the
lift. From here, the ski runs of

harbor cities of Bursa. Both
Bursa and Mudanya share the
same destiny. Two cities are in-
terdependent.
The establishment of Mudanya
goes back to the BC 8th century.
When established first, it was the
colony of the Colophes and its
name was Myrleria. Hardly any-
thing remained from them in
Mudanya today. The castle was

mous for their old houses and
churches, where also many
movies were made in.

danya district, it is one of the su-
burb villages.
It is a city, which has roots back
to the Roman and Byzantium ti-
me. It is in the middle of Mudan-
ya and Zeytinba. The name of
the village in Byzantine period
was Siguino. It means Peninsu-
lain the Luwi language. It is an
old Greek Village. There is a
church named Hagios Taxiarcho-
il / Archanloi here. It is said, that
the church was built at the end
of the XIX.th century, but there
are also claims that the church
was built around 780. As a mat-
ter of fact that, there was a
church named Hagios Michael in
1883. according to
After Greeks left the village,
Cretans from Kandiya came and
settled in the coast of Sigil.You

in there. The women clean the
fishes and delivers to their hus-
bands and go back to their ho-
mes. And the men sell these fis-
hes in the market by the lake.

the hot waters of the pool surro-

The water at the pool is
45 C where as at the source it is
90 C. What is interesting is that
there are also cold springs at the
same slope of the mountain.
According to Evliya elebi, after
a man takes a bath here, his skin
softens like the ear lobe and his
hand slides through his body li-
ke a soap.
Today, you can either drink the
healing waters of the spring
from the Kemerli eme (founta-

seases within the waters itself.

Eski Kaplca cures gastronomic
diseases, gynecological diseases

THE KULLIYA OF YILDIRIM
Yldrm Bayezid built this kulli-
ya (Complex of education, he-

one of the glorious monuments
of Bursa. Outside of the kulliyas
mosque, there are kitchens, two
Madrasas, a bath, an inn, the
houses of the caretakers, a foun-
tain a stall and a hospital.

bath, one Madra-
sa and the hospi-
tal left of it.

YILDIRIM MADRASA
Located in the Yldrm Mosque,
this structure was built by Yld-
rm Bayezid in 1390. It is the first
Madrasa in the Ottoman Archi-
tecture, whose front was closed.
The entry front was structured
with Stones, the other parts were
structured with bricks. That
shows us, that Stones were more
valuable than bricks. Structured
from the stones of the entry
front, others being made of brick
show that they are more impor-
tant than the others. Today it is
being used as a dispensary and
clinic.
YILDIRIM BAYEZD
TOMB
Located in the Yldrm Mosque,
this tomb was built by Emir S-
leyman, son of Yldrm Bayezid,

of Huseyin. When Yldrm Baye-
zid died, he was first burried in
Aksehir, but then the he was
brought to Bursa by his son Mu-
sa elebi. It became the pioneer
of the other Ottoman tombs. It
was restored in the years; 1669,
1825 and 1878. It experienced its
greatest damage by the eart-
hquake in 1855. There is also
the tomb of his son Isa elebi is
there.
YILDIRIM MOSQUE
The mosque was cons-
tructed on a hill in
Yldrm region by
Yldrm Bayezid
(1389 - 1402) aro-
und 1390s. It is
one of the most
brilliant monu-
ments of Bursa
The Bursa Style
was first time used in
this mosque. According to Ek-
rem Hakk Ayverdi: We enco-
unter with a matured building.
Workmanship is at its peak. The
combination of the ele-
ments of the building,
transition between
surfaces, conjuncti-
ons between cut sto-
nes and coating, and
labor on every ele-
ment; all of them are
perfectly managed
(Early Ages of Ottoman
Architecture).
Yldrm Mosque
YEL MOSQUE
The mosque was built in
1419 with the order
of elebi Sultan
Mehmed. A reverse
T-Planned building
is the one of the
most beautiful buil-
dings of Bursa as
well Turkey. Some
Byzantine materials
had been used for it.
The faade over the ma-
in door is one of the most beau-
tiful samples of the Turkish sto-
ne carving. The Interior walls of
the mosque and the columns are
completely covered with tiles.
One of the most perfect examp-
les of the tiling is the altar. With
its geometrical and flo-
wer figures the altar is
the one of the most
outstanding part of
the mosque. The
window covers
are the best
examples of that
era. There are very
thin ornamentations,
which can never be
seen in other mosques.
There is a fountain within the
mosque. The single-piece
sprinkler of the fountain is uni-
que.
The Klliya, which is located in
Yeil quarter, was built in 1419
by elebi Sultan Mehmed. The
Yeil Trbe (Green Tomb) and
the Yeil Cami (Green Mosque),
which are located within the
kullliya are symbols of rebirth of
Ottomans after the defeat of An-
kara War with Timur. Consists of
a mosque, a Madrasa, a tomb, a
hammam, and an alms house,
the difference of the Kulliya is
that the elements of the complex
built independently.

1419 by elebi Sultan Mehmed.
It is a part of the Yeil Kulliya.
The Madrasa of Sultaniye was an
educational institution in which
the highest ranked theologians
and Islam academicians worked.
It is one of the most beautiful
madrasas in Bursa There are
thirteen rooms, one principal ro-
om, entrance cell and restrooms
are located around a courtyard.
There are cloisters in front of the
rooms which are covered by a
dome and vault. The building
has been serving as the Museum
of Turkish Islamic Works since
1975.
The Kulliya of Muradiye is the
last mosque, which was made
by the Ottoman Sultans in Bursa.
It was built by the Sultan 2
nd
Murad in
1425. And
he gave
his name
to this
place.
Compo-
sed of a
Madrasa,
a mosque, a bath, a hospital
and a tomb, this small mosque
became a tomb after the burial
of the princess.
Twelve of the tombs are located
within the garden and one is lo-
cated outside the garden. Howe-
ver, none of these belong to Mu-
rad the Second period. The ol-
dest tomb here, Hma Hatun
Tomb, was built by his son Fatih
Sultan Mehmed. The others were
built in the periods of Bayezid
the Second (1481 - 1512) and
Sultan Suleyman (1520 - 1566).
The complex is considered as
the most atmospheric Ottoman
Kulliya. In the courtyard of the
Kulliya, which is located in one
of the greenest and quietest spot
of Bursa, you can see the Otto-
man grave stones.
You can relax in terms of both
body and soul within the trees
and flowers of the courtyard
where also you can feel dream
and reality, sadness and peace,
death and life at the same time.

MURAD II MOSQUE
Constructed in 1425/26, the II.
Murad Mosque is considered in
the lodged mosque class. The
plan of the mosque, which has
a Bursa Archway entrance, ref-
lects the simplest form of this
class. The building consists of
two main sections on an axis
closed with a dome and surro-
unding cells.
However, both interior and exte-
rior areas are rich of ornamenta-
tions. There are coloured and
glazed bricks and ceramics wit-
hin the ashlars and bricks works
of the exterior. The general or-
namentation figures are geomet-
rical shapes. Although the en-
trance faade has a rich orna-
mented style, the other faades
have a simpler brick-ashlars
works. This feature can be seen
in many other buildings of that
era.
The main interior ornamentation
elements are the single coloured
ceramics and ceramic borders
around the lower sections of the
wall. Contrary to this, the mihrab
is heavily ornamented with cera-
mics. Two ancient granite pillar,
located at the narthex with five
units at the entrance, attracts the
attention.
There are elegant embossments
on the centre dome and also the
timber door has finest examples
of embossed ornamentations
with figures of flowers and geo-
metrical shapes. The wings of
the door have the top quality
workmanship.
The garden next to the mosque
creates a peaceful atmosphere
with its trees, flowers and sin-
ging fountains. This feeling of
peace harmoniously mixed with
the tombs in the garden.

Murad II Madrasa
The Kulliya of Hdavendigr is
in the area between ekirge, Es-
ki Kaplca, Murad the First Stre-
et, and Hamam Street.
Also known as the Kulliya of
Sultan Murad the First, was built
between 1363 and 1366. It was
located on a hill that has a view
of Bursa Plain and it consisted of
a mosque, a madrasa, an alms
house, a hammam, and a tomb.
There are also rest rooms and
two sycamore trees in front of
them. This location, which also
contains the Kulliya, is one of
the oldest quarters of Bursa
since the time of Byzantine.

HDAVENDGR MOSQUE
AND MADRASA
The construction of the mosque
started in 1363 however it finis-
hed in 19
th
century. Although it
has a Reverse T planning
when the archways and entrance
section is analyzed certain featu-
res that cannot be seen in any
other Bursa building will be re-
vealed.
It has a one large and six small
domes.
The mosque, which was built in
the period of Sultan Murad the
first (a.k.a Hdavendigr) has
two floors and a large dome.
The narthex is closed with five
small domes. The madrasa can
be reached via two stairs located
on each side of the mosque.The
mosque is located at the lower
floor whereas the upper floor
serves as madrasa. Normally,
educational facilities such as
madrasa and dervish lodges are
located outside of the mosque,
however in this example they
combined with the prayer place.
Thus, with such a design it was
possible to make the two sides
of Islamic theology; the school
or the theory (the scholars) and
the practice (the dervishes) lived
together under the same roof.
Therefore both Sufi and Sunni
elements
of Islam
came to-
gether.
Another
important
feature in
the mos-
que,
which
has dis-
tinctive
and uni-
que orna-
mentati-
on un-
derstanding, is the mysterious
window that looks at the prayer
section from the top of the mih-
rab. It is believed that this small
room behind the window, which
can be reached with the secret
passage from the mihrab, belon-
ged to Sultan Murad.
The unique minaret, which was
made of brick and marble co-
lumns were used in the mosque.
And this structure type obtained
from the Byzantium structure. It
is also said, that the mosque has
a Modern-Greek-Architecture.
It should be repeated that in the
Hdavendigr Mosque, which is
defined as a spectacular work li-
ke Venice palaces, is the only
place where mosque-madrasa
combination; or the togetherness
of dervishes and scholars oc-
curred.
The Interior of
Hdavendigr Mosque
Hdavendigr Mosque
It is located on a hill in the outs-
kirts of Uluda, in a quarter,
which is also named as Emir Sul-
tan. It was constructed by Hundi
Fatma Hatun, who was the da-
ughter of Yldrm Bayezid and
wife of Emir Sultan, during the
early 15th century. It has a mos-
que, a tomb, a hammam, and a
dervish lodge. Unfortunately to-
day, the hammam is ruined and
the dervish lodges is destroyed.
There are six fountains around
the mosque and a bigger founta-
in in the courtyard of the mos-
que.
Kulliya of Emir Sultan is an im-
portant religious visit spot altho-
ugh it was not built for a sultan
it is considered among as a "Sul-
tan Kulliya".
Kulliya of Emir Sultan, in which
religious ceremonies called as
mevlt are being held in every-
day, attracts attention of the tou-
rists and it has also many visitors
among the Bursa folk. The boys
of Bursa are brought here before
their circumcision ceremony;
every young couple visit Tomb
of Emir Sultan just before they
get married. People who want to
make a vow come here. Even
the funeral ceremonies are being
held in here.
Having a special history and spi-
ritual texture and being the most
important place in Bursa regar-
ding the tourism potential the
Emir Sultan Mosque and Tomb
of Emir Sultan are expected to
preserve their historical and spi-
ritual texture after the landscape
planning and preservation efforts
of Bursa Metropolitan Municipa-
lity.
Emir Sultan was born in Buhara.
He is also known as Es-Seyyid
emsddin Mehmed bin Aliyyl
Buhari. He migrated to Bursa in
1391 and married with Hundi
Hatun, daughter of Yldrm Ba-
yezid. He died in 1429 because
of black death.
You can see the Kulliya of Yld-
rm and even Yeil Trbe (Green
Tomb) from the hill which hosts
the Kulliya of Emir Sultan, which
is the number one in the list of
most visited mosques and tombs
in Turkey.

EMR SULTAN MOSQUE
It was constructed by Hundi Fat-
ma Hatun, who was the daugh-
ter of Yldrm Bayezid and wife
of Emir Sultan, during the early
15th century.

entrance section of the mosque
which has three gates. The mos-
que has the largest and most be-
autiful courtyard among the
mosques in Bursa.

ved three different reigns of
three Ottoman Sultans and also
who girded three Sultans (Yld-
rm, elebi Mehmed, and Murad
the Second) with sword, is loca-
ted on the north of the Emir Sul-
tan Mosque. Although it has lost
its originality, some people still
claims that the tomb of Emir Sul-
tan is the fifth important place in
Muslim world.
The Tomb of Emir Sultan, who
was named as Emir due to being
a descend of Prophet Moham-
med, is located at the centre of
the tomb behind brass bars.

tombs in the tomb which belong
to Emir Ali, son of Emir Sultan,
Hundi Hatun, his wife and his
two daughters.

As a crossroads of
too many civili-
zations Bursa
was staged
to settle-
ments sin-
ce the very
old eras. It
was found
out that the
civilizations
went back to
the BC 5200 ye-
ars with the exca-
vations made in the Ilpnar mo-
und.
The oldest settlements of Bursa
and around are in the area of
the Iznik Lake. There are only
five mounds remained from the
Stone Age.
ESTABLISHMENT OF
BURSA
The region of Bursa was a pla-
ce, where many different coloni-
es and countries were a domi-
nant force until the state of Bith-
ynia was established in BC IV
century. The oldest information
about Bursa can be read in the
famous History of Heredot. But
the only city, which existed the-
re, is according to the History of
Heredot Gemlik Kius. The es-
tablishment of the city of Kius
goes back to the BC XII century.
The establishment
of Mudanya /
Apamea is
assumed to
be in BC
X cen-
tury.
The city
of Basi-

tablished
in Orhanga-

century and was named Heliko-
re. It became a Greek colony in
BC 316. Bursa got the status of a
city, when I.st Prusias was King
of Bithinia. When the Carthago
King Hannibal lost war against
the Roman Emperor, he took
shelter with his soldiers at his
friend I.st Prusias. At that time
Hannibal discovered the area,
where Bursa is now and told I.
Prusias, that he should built a
city there. So I.st Prisias establis-
hed the city and gave his name
Pruisa which changed eventu-
ally to Bursa.
The documents about Bursa had
decreased after the second cen-
tury. Bursa continued its exis-
tence as a district of Rome and
the Byzantine. Until the time,
when Turks came to that region,
Bursa maintained the name
Bithynia.
OTTOMAN PERIOD
Turkish people
came to this regi-
on in 1071. znik
was made the ca-
pital city of the
Anatolia Seljuk
Sultanate. In 1097,
it was staged to
the crusades wars.
znik was captu-
red by them.
Theodor Laskaris
established the z-
nik Byzantine Em-
pire and it lasted
till 1261.
When the Latins
invaded Istanbul,
Byzantine princes
did not hesitate to
agree with the
Muslim adminis-
trators. Theodor
Laskaris invaded
Bursa by agreeing
with the Seljuk
Sultanate.

BURSA DURING THE WAR
OF INDEPENDENCE
At the 8th July 1920 Bursa was
invaded by the Greeks. At the
11th September 1922 Bursa was
free from the invasion. Later at
the 3th October the armistice ar-
rangements had started and at
the 11th October 1922 the Mu-
danya Armistice was signed.
The people of Bursa suffered a
lot during the years of occupati-
on. Especially in the villages,
many people were killed and
many houses were burnt down.
Many districts were destroyed
and burn down during the occu-
pation years in central Bursa as
well. After the post-occupational
period, the non-Muslim people
of Bursa, one third of the popu-
lation, had left the city and a
new depression emerged. As a
matter of fact, Bursa had been
rushed into by immigrants since
1880's.
The young republic created a
modern city from the ashes of a
burnt down city. Silk factories
were founded once again, a re-
construction started, comprising
the city centre and the surroun-
ding districts and villages. Bursa,
a protector of republican revolu-
tions, manifested a great advan-
ce in a very little time and beca-
me the fourth biggest city of the
country.

the years of BC 3000, were dis-
covered. This district, which was
invaded by the Greeks during
the War of Independence was
saved on 6 October 1922. The

KELES
Keles is located in the north side
of the inside-west-anatolian regi-

between the Uluda and Erigz
mountain. The history of Keles
goes back to the old times. Even
if it is impossible to give an
exact date, it can be said, that it
was established in the XII. and
XIII. centuries.
The Turkish people escaped
then under the ruling of Sley-
man ah from the Mongolian
and came to Anatolia. The Seljuk
Sultanate at that time; Alaattin
Keykubat the 1st allowed them
to live as a border principality at
the area of Karacada. After the
enlargement of this Ottoman,
Keles and the plateaus around it
were being used as summer resi-
dences. Between 1860-1915, Ke-
