Bursa Yigid Cedid Mosque May 2014 7352.jpg

From the web I gathered: it is thought to be made at the beginning of the 15th century. It's a neighborhood masjid mosque with a shield wall. 8,32 x8,32 m. The earthquake in 1855 made the dome above collapse, later a tiled pitched roof was made​​. The walls are built with two rows of bricks and rubble. The building was used as a warehouse for a long time, in 1961, was restored and opened to worship. The property owners had moved a door, so authenticity is lost. The prayer niches has muqarnas (stalactite formed decoration) and it original.

On the picture: The paintings of the last restoration have been executed in late-Ottoman style, mixing Classical Ottoman design (the calligraphy and the stylised flowers) with 19th century Turkish ‘Baroque’, influenced by European Neo-Rococo (the flower bouquets and the curtains).
