a poem about Bursa by aytacatlas by aytac_atlas

the roses and honeysuckles’ smells rise up in the air

the leaves of long sycamores move slightly

As the love-smelt breeze blows gently

In my beloved city Bursa;

From the Yesil to the Emirsultan is a narrow path

reaches over to the picturesque mosque,

situated on a scenic hill

in my beloved city Bursa;

Green mosque is the shrine of the Muslims

With green tiles and harmonious atmosphere

Azans resounds from its minarets

in my beloved city Bursa.

Mt. Uludag reaches to the wonderful skies

just like an uniquely picture of the paradise

reminds me of the Ottomans ,Byzantines and Bithynian’s

in my beloved city Bursa .

The Christians and the Muslims and the Jews

Lived brotherly together for centuries

With great quintessence of peace

That had been the capital of

the various civilizations

is Saints’ city Bursa …

The place I spent my sweet university life by Alisher Hasanov

I love this city, and if I would be in Turkey, the second place I would spend my time will be:

Gemlik, Görükle, Altıparmak caddesi, Yeşil, Uludağ, Nilüfer, Yalova yolu, Kafkas Kestanesi, vs nice isimlerini unuttuğum o güzelim sokaklar ve yerler… Seni seviyorum Bursa! Ne kadar Bursa’lı erekekler ‘meşhur’ olsada…

Tabi ki o meşhur abimizin hazırladığı İskender var ya… Bir de Ziya sofrası olsa şimdi, ehhh.

Tabi ki hiç unutmadığım bir Lahmacun yapan abimiz var dı(malesef detayşar aklımda değil, ama ayaklar ve gözler yerini o kadar iyi biliyor ki) bütün özbeklerin sırayla gittiği… Adam’ın sofrasını mutlaka ziyaret edeceğim…

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Bursa by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 In a landscape not unlike that of Tuscany, Bursa established itself as an important center as far back as pre-Roman times, attracting emperors and rulers for its rich, fertile soil and healing thermal waters. The arrival of the Ottomans in 1326 ensured the city's prosperity as a cultural and economic center that now represents one of the richest legacies of early Ottoman art and architecture. As the first capital of the Ottoman Empire, Bursa became the beneficiary of the finest mosques, theological schools (medreses), humanitarian centers (imarets), and social services ( hans, hamams, and public fountains). The density of arched portals, graceful domes, artfully tiled minarets, and magnificently carved minbars (pulpits) could easily provide the coursework for extensive study of the Ottomans, and without a doubt, fill multiple daylong walking tours.
