Editor's Note
The central building of the Yıldırım Complex, the mosque was built between 1390 and 1395 by Sultan Bayezid I, known by the title Yıldırım (Thunderbolt). The mosque stands at the very top of the complex, which is set on sloping ground and comprises a medrese, a soup kitchen, a bath, a tomb, and a hospital. The building is of the inverted-T plan type (with hospice rooms and a zaviye), and the piers in its portico (last congregation space) and the Bursa arches connecting them are built of cut stone resembling marble. The arch form that entered the literature of Ottoman architecture as the 'Bursa arch' appears for the first time in this mosque.
