Bursa dec 2007 1409.jpg

The Muradiye complex as seen from the corner of Kaplıca Caddesi (in front) and the Sedat Sokak (where the entrance to the complex is, straight on).

On the picture: The Muradiye Çeşmesi (fountain), at the corner of Kaplıca Caddesi (former Hamzabey Caddesi) and Sedat Sokağı, which is the street running straightforward. The fountain is dated from the 15th century (but has been restored, of course). Along the Sedat Sokağı, one sees the domed entrance of the Muradiye Medresesi (school/college) and the two minarets of the Murad II Mosque.

Cadde = large street; Sokak = (normal) street. Caddesi & Sokağı = genitive forms of ‘cadde’ and ‘sokak’.
