Yıldırım Mosque, İnegöl

Also recorded as the Kurşunlu Mosque after the village where it stands in İnegöl district, this early Ottoman mosque lacks a surviving foundation inscription, so its exact date and patron are not fixed. Architectural historians have proposed two overlapping attributions: Ali Saim Ülgen linked it to either the reign of Murad I or that of his successor Bayezid I, known as Yıldırım (the Thunderbolt), while Semavi Eyice argued more specifically for the Yıldırım Bayezid period at the end of the fourteenth century. The building follows the inverted-T plan common to early Ottoman mosques, with a domed prayer hall preceded by a portico for latecomers. It is counted today among İnegöl's principal Ottoman-era landmarks, alongside the İshakpaşa mosque complex and tomb and the town's historic covered bazaar, and its popular name keeps alive the memory of the sultan traditionally associated with it.
