Overview
Building of the Orhan Gazi Mosque, Bursa's first imperial mosque, began in 1339 CE. 1
The architecture
Aptullah Kuran classifies it as the example of the 'cross-axial eyvan' mosque, where the two side eyvans stand perpendicular to the main eyvan. The Karamanid emir destroyed it during his siege of Bursa in 1413; it was repaired four years later and again after the 1855 earthquake, yet its original plan survives. 1
