The Father of The Ottoman 

The birth place of Ertugrul Gazi, who lived between 1188-1281, is not precisely known because no such record has been encountered. Ertugrul Gazi Tomb was built in the late 13th century yet the exact date of construction is still unknown. The tomb underwent a significant restoration, as if had been reconstructed, by Sultan III. Mustafa and diverged somewhat from the view that it was built first.

Pelitözü Gölpark 5 minutes away from Bilecik' s city center, is a scenic sightseeing stop which accomodates many visitors coming both from and out of the city.

A Rare Work

Hamidiye Mosque was built during the era of II. By Abdul Hamid Khan in 1907-1908 (H.1325). The structure is square-planned, walls are built of red ashlar and the big belt carried by a single dome covers the building. The dome is covered with lead. As the double minaret was built of ashlari it is remarkable.
