Most mosques are not very picturesque or exciting inside, but The Great Mosque in Bursa is an exception. It is really grand, not only in size and popularity, but also beautiful features such as the ablution fountain, mihrab and especially the wonderful calligraphy everywhere. I am not a religious man, but I sensed the spiritual importance of the place, together with some hundreds of worshippers.

Less than 5 minutes walk from my hotel, I went there for morning (Subuh) prayer in that mosque. A bit different architecture compare to the other mosque design in Turkiye. There are ablution area in the middle of the prayer hall. The mosque size is also quite big, and easy to reach especially for visitors around the Grand Bazaar & Osmangazi area.

This mosque is differently decorated inside to many of the mosques we saw on our tour around Turkey. It's a vast open space with relatively few supporting columns. The walls, arches and ceilings assist in supporting the roof.

The grand mosque is just outside the Koza Han (bazaar) near what looked like a main square. It's free to walk in for all (except during prayer times I would think) - a good experience to go in and gave a look. They provide head scarves and skirts for any visitors who are not dressed appropriately.
