Lonely Planet review for Yeşil Camii

A few minutes' walk uphill from Setbaşı, the Yeşil Camii, built for Mehmet I between 1419 and 1424, is a supremely beautiful building which represents a turning point in Turkish architectural style. Before this, Turkish mosques echoed the Persian style of the Seljuks, but in the Yeşil Camii a purely Turkish style emerged, and its influence is visible in Ottoman architecture across the country. Note the harmonious façade and the beautiful, carved marble work around the central doorway.
