INFORMATION ABOUT BURSA
One of the most prominent cities of Turkey, a capital of the
early Ottoman state, Bursa is a multifaceted city that is at
once industrial, green and historical. Located on the lower
green slopes of Uludag mountain and extending onto the
fertile plain of the Nilüfer stream, it has one of the most
beautiful settings among all Turkish cities.
Bursa was the first capital of the flourishing Ottoman
Empire, before Edirne and Istanbul were joined into its
confines. Consequently, it is adorned with the finest early
Ottoman monuments. Continuous industrialization over the
last thirty years or so has pushed the city's population
over a million |
