Emirsultan Mahallesi: Emirsultan: Bursa
Emirsultan Mahallesi has served as a religious centre in Bursa since the early Ottoman period.

Set on the lower slopes of Mount Uludağ, the neighbourhood links a major place of pilgrimage with everyday city life. It remains an inhabited urban quarter, with local streets surrounding the sacred ensemble.
