17th-century palace with dungeons, harems & a mosque built in Seljuk, Ottoman & Persian styles.

👍👍 My son and I spent 45 minutes here on our way out of town. As a museum, it disappoints. As a park, castle, and viewing area for the city it is really amazing. Consider it a beautiful and unique park and plan to spend a bit of time sitting and just enjoying the views and the beauty. We thought we wou...

👍👍 One of the oldest Castle in history. Built in 1st century BC by the Bithynian's. Later Byzantine controlled the castle. Orhan Ghazi conquered Bursa and the Bursa castle during his father's reign.

👍👍 Such a good historical place. I feel soul of the castle.

👍👍 We were not certain that we would be able to hike all the way up to the top but we did! We made it! What an incredible sight of the city! The ancient ruins gave a feeling of perpetuity to the surroundings. There's a small bazaar just before you get into the citadel with many souvenirs.

👍👍 Park yeri sorunu var. Ana yolda park edip yürümenizi tavsiye ederim. Çünkü sadece üç beş park yeri var. Sahili çakıldan oluşuyor ama suyun içi kum ve çoğu Karadeniz sahili gibi sürekli sığ değil. Benim çok hoşuma gitti. Bir de Kale var tabii. Manzarası çok güzel. Ama Kale hakkında bir bilgi yok. Bir...
