The Complex of Orhan I (known as Orhan Gazi), was built in the market area of Bursa in 1339. The endowment (vakfiyye) of the Orhaniye Complex includes a mosque, madrasa (medrese), two baths (hamam), a soup kitchen (imaret) and a han, of which only the mosque, a hamam and the han survive today. The mosque, called Orhaniye, was built following the Seljuk madrasa type to function jointly as a mosque for the court and a convent for the Ahi brotherhood. It was burnt down during the Karamanoglu raid in 820 A.H. (1417) and rebuilt by the vizier of Mehmet I, as declared in the inscriptive plaque (kitabe) above entrance. Severely damaged following the earthquake of 1855, the mosque was restored by French architect Parvillée in 1864 and later again in 1904, at which time a door was opened on the eastern wall.
The mosque is based on a reverse T-plan with five-bay portico at entrance, leading, through a vestibule, to a central hall flanked by eyvans on the east and west an

Constructed between 1339 and 1340 by Orhan Gazi, this is one of the most important early Ottoman constructions in Bursa. Pointed arches on the veranda show the beginnings of a particularly Ottoman detail, while the exterior brickwork recalls its Selçuk origins. The mosque was damaged in 1413 by Karamanoglu Mehmet Bey and repaired in 1417 by Çelebi Sultan Mehmet. Note the star-shaped decorations representing the course of the sun and the marble embellishments on the eastern and western facades.
The surrounding complex is one of the first in the Ottoman tradition, consisting of a mosque, medrese, soup kitchen, bath, and inn. The cats apparently stay there free of charge, and the whole courtyard and mosque interior have a homey feel. https://www.frommers.com/destinations/bursa/attractions/orhan-gazi-mosque-orhan-camii

The city of Bursa, southeast of the Sea of Marmara, lies on the lower slopes of Uludag (Mt. Olympos of Mysia, 2543 meters). The city derives its name from its founder King Prusias of Bithynia. Its previous antique name was Prussa ad Hypium. It subsequently came under Roman, then Byzantine rule before falling to Orhan Gazi in 1326, when it became the first capital of the Ottoman Empire. Many important Ottoman buildings remain. http://www.invaders.com.tr/bursa.php

Location 5: Yıldırım Külliye of Sultan Bayezid I
“Yıldırım” Bayezid I (1360-1403) built his külliye in the 1390s on the east end of the city, thereby pushing the city’s expansion eastward. Originally, the külliye consisted of a mosque, a hamam, a han, madrasahs, soup kitchens, stables, houses, and the first public hospital in the Ottoman Empire. Today, the mosque, hamam, a madrasah, and the hospital remain. The külliye also includes Bayezid’s tomb, which was built in 1406 by one of his sons.
Bayezid I is also credited with building two of Bursa’s most famous structures: Ulu Cami’i (Grand Mosque) and Koza Han (Silk Market).

Orhan Gazi (Gazi = Warrior for the Faith/Victorious), the leader of the Ottomans who conquered Bursa made it the capital of his state; he can be regarded as the true founder of the Ottoman Empire (which is named after his father Osman). He strengthened his power by conquering Nicaea in 1331 and by marrying Theodora, a Byzantine princess, and by helping her father to usurp the throne of Constantinople and to become Emperor John VI Cantacuzenus.
Orhan Gazi took advantage of the continuous fights between Genoese and Venetians and with the help of the former he established the first Ottoman European foothold at Gallipoli. His successor Murad I continued the expansion of the Ottomans in Europe by conquering in 1365 Adrianople, which was renamed Edirne and became the new capital of the empire. He was the first to use the title of sultan (high ruler).
