Built in 1421, the Green Tomb (Yesil Türbe) serves as the mausoleum for Sultan Mehmed I Celebi and is situated above the larger Green Mosque complex in Bursa, Turkey. The tomb’s exterior is adorned with blue-green tiles, which were installed to replace the original ones after an earthquake damaged the structure in 1855. Visitors today can observe the intricate tile work that gives the tomb its distinctive appearance, a testament to the rich historical and architectural heritage of the region.
