Few neighbourhoods in Bursa have a history as closely tied to the city’s Ottoman-era urban core as Kurtoglu Mahallesi. Set on the northern foothills of Uludağ, it belongs to a city that served as the first capital of the Ottoman state before the court moved to Edirne. The nearby historic centre is defined by the Grand Mosque, commissioned by Sultan Bayezid I and completed in 1399, and by the Green Mosque complex. Bursa’s historic areas, together with Cumalıkızık, were inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2014. Place Kurtoglu Mahallesi in its wider Bursa setting by browsing webcams nearby.
