The famous Muradiye Complex in Bursa houses building communities such as mosques, madrasahs, shrines and baths. The most important feature of this place is that it is recorded as the last complex created by the Ottoman sultans themselves. ıN Muradiye Complex, Sultan II. Murat's signature is visible. This place also gives its name to the neighborhood it is connected to. In the complex, especially the tombs are of great interest. These shrines are enlarged with various additions over time. New additions are made to the complex during the periods of Fatih Sultan Mehmet and Kanuni Sultan. Together with the recent additions, 12 shrines are open to visitors in the region known as Muradiye shrines.
