The Green Mosque
The mosque for the Complex of Mehmet I, known as Yesil (Green) Mosque, was built between 1384-1421 by architect Haci Ivaz Pasa. The building went under extensive renovation following the earthquake in 1855, led by architect Parveillée.
The interior of the mosque is decorated with a mosaic of blue green tiles on walls and ceiling of eyvans from which it gets its name. The porch is now glazed and opens on to three arches born on two granite columns. Only a few fragments remain of the original marble screens. The doorway and windows framed in calligraphic inscriptions are particularly notable features.
