Known for its hot mineral
waters—and lots of hotels built
to house those who have come to enjoy
them—Çekirge also
boasts the interesting old Mosque
of Murat IHüdavendigâr
(1366) and
the tomb of its founder.
If you have an intense interest in
early Ottoman mosque architecture,
or if you intend to spend some time
in one of Çekirge's famous mineral
baths, you'll want to visit here.
Çekirge (CHEH-keer-geh)
is well to the west of the center of
Bursa and its other sightseeing districts,
and requires a bus or taxi ride.
