Great Mosque and Complex - Manisa
It is one of the most important structures of Saruhanoğulları Principality. It was built by Muzafereddin İshak Bey in 1366 for Architect Emet Bin Osman. Manisa Ulu Mosque is shown as the most important and interesting mosque plan of the Principalities Period. The complex was established on the northern skirt of Sipil Mountain; mosque, madrasah, tomb and northeast of the bath. The mosque has a transverse rectangular plan and is covered with a large dome resting on an octagonal leg system. The minaret of the mosque, which has a single minaret, is one of the masterpieces of Turkish wood carving during the Principalities Period. The pulpit is preserved in the Manisa Museum. The madrasa, which is called Med Fethiye Madrasa yapılmış, was built by the same architect about ten years after the mosque as a single iwan with two storeys adjacent to the western side of the mosque. The oldest madrasah of the city has a fountain on both sides of the north-facing crown gate. It is believed that the four chambers in the tomb, which was entered through a door opening on the south wall of the passage between the mosque and the madrasah, belong to İshak Çelebi and his family. The bathhouse of the complex is known as ukur Çukur Hamam, and it is understood from the foundation that it was built to bring income to the complex. The hotel opened its doors in 2003 and was remodeled in 2006.
