Description
Abdal Mehmed Mosque
There is no exact information about the construction date of the mosque and who built it. However, according to the inscription on the nearby tomb with the same name, the building was built by II. It is possible to date it to the Murad period (1421-1444). It is also stated in various sources that the mosque was built in the 15th century by Başçı Hacı İbrahim, one of the tradesmen from Bursa and a disciple who loved Abdal Mehmed very much, in the name of the Sufi Abdal Mehmed.
It is a typical example of the Early Period Ottoman Architecture in Bursa. The main prayer space of the mosque, which was built in the east-west direction, has a transverse rectangular plan and is covered with two domes side by side. This space within the mosque is divided into two by a pointed arch. The mihrab was built on the southern foot of this pointed arch. The three-section narthex, which is quite wide in accordance with the plan scheme, is covered with three domes and is carried by two side walls and three pointed arches connected to masonry piers in the middle. The narthex portico is covered with glass.
The building was repaired in 1955 and 2000.
