Step into the Legacy — Experience Atatürk's Journey in Bursa
During his second visit to Bursa in 1923, Atatürk received this building as a gift from the Bursa Municipality and used it during his stays in the city. After 1938, the mansion changed ownership and was converted into a museum in 1973. The building showcases original furniture and artefacts used by Atatürk. Influenced by 19th-century French architecture, the pavilion features detailed woodwork, balconies, and acroters. The house includes two main floors, an attic, and a basement, with various rooms such as reception, dining, and study areas, along with a pergola in the garden. The first floor of the mansion includes a reception hall, dining hall, and a room for resting or tea and coffee, while the second floor has the bedroom, study room, and a section called "Limonluk." The basement was used for the kitchen and service, and most items exhibited in the museum are original pieces used by Atatürk.
Cross the Timeline on Irgandi: Bridge of History and Craftsmanship in Bursa, Türkiye
Only four bridges in the world have a bazaar and the historical Irgandi Bazaar Bridge is one of them. Other examples are found in Italy and Bulgaria. Irgandi Bazaar Bridge was constructed in 1442 on the Gökdere River, to connect the Osmangazi and Yıldırım districts of Bursa. The Bridge is simply a reflection of Ottoman bazaar culture. There are a total of 32 shops on it. It is also unique in that it is literally an art bridge with traditional Turkish handicraft workshops housed on it. So it is no surprise that it was selected as one of the 13 most prestigious bridges in Türkiye.
