Overview
Çelebi Mehmet commissioned the Green Mosque (Yeşil Cami) in 1412 CE, the year before he became sole ruler as Mehmed I; the architect was Hacı Ivaz Pasha. 2
Finished after his death
The mosque was unfinished when Mehmed I died in 1421, and decorative work continued for four more years; his mausoleum — the Yeşil Türbe — stands atop the hill across from the mosque, a tall octagonal structure. 1
