Green Mausoleum

An architectural marvel

This architectural marvel is beautiful not just for its amazing tiles but the splendid ornaments inside too. The tomb of the second founder of the Ottoman state after the invasion in the early 15th century is here. It's a bit strange that it is called the Green Tomb (Yesil Turbe), when the tiles seem to be more blue. Once, the tiles outisde were turquoise, and after an earthquake in the middle of the 19th century they were replaced. Next, we can visit the Green Mosque, where, curiously, there is a fountain inside!
