Osmangazi Mahallesi: Tophane parkı
Tucked along the northern foothills of Uludağ, Tophane Park is a place whose character is shaped by its elevated position above central Bursa. It occupies part of the former citadel area, where surviving sections of the city walls recall Bursa’s role as the first major capital of the Ottoman state. The park contains the mausoleums of Osman Gazi, founder of the Ottoman dynasty, and his son Orhan Gazi. From this historic hill, Bursa’s dense centre unfolds across the plain below, its older red-tiled neighbourhoods meeting broad avenues, apartment blocks and the expanding modern city.
