Entrance to Green Tomb, Bursa, Turkey
Entrance portal of the Green Tomb or Yesil Turbe, mausoleum of the 5th Ottoman Sultan Mehmed I Celebi, Bursa, Turkey. It was built by Mehmed's son and successor Murad II following Mehmed's death in 1421 and is so named because of the green-blue tiles which cover the exterior. The architect, Haci Ivaz Pasha, designed the tomb and the Yesil Mosque opposite. Most of the exterior tiles were replaced following an earthquake in 1855. Picture by Manuel Cohen
