Despite the fact that the Muradiye complex is very old (its age is almost 500 years), the bathhouse, mosque, religious school, and hospice included in it still operate.
All this was built by one of the most respected Ottoman sultans Murad II, who ruled in 1421-1451. According to the descriptions, he was a religious, modest, tolerant person. He was inclined towards mysticism and did not like war. An interesting fact is that he himself handed over the throne to his son Mehmet as soon as he was 19 years old.
The Muradiye Mosque, which is part of this mausoleum complex, is older than all Istanbul mosques. The entrance to it is distinguished by a portico with wooden carved doors, and inside it is decorated with Iznik tiles.
The garden, laid out around, is a favorite vacation spot for tourists coming to Bursa. Here is the tomb of Murad II. At the entrance to the tomb of the Sultan is a very unpretentious fountain in the form of an octagon. In the crypt itself, everything is also simple and modest: there are no decorations, light walls, and a layer of damp earth lies on the grave. Murad bequeathed to keep open a hole in the dome over the grave, so that "the rain would drip in the face." Indeed, the dome is open and not even glazed.
The area around the mausoleum is also called Muradiye, and it is here that most of the houses of the Ottoman era have been preserved.
