In the middle of the tomb, Çelebi Mehmet’s mausoleum is located, which is made of marble, octagonal design, and beautiful tiles. As we read from the tomb’s inscription, those tiles of the Green Tombs were made by Mecnun Mehmet. Most of the inner part of the mosque is decorated with tiles made by Mecnun Mehmet. The most remarkable part of the mosque is the mihrab which is 10 meters, and the tile artistry is worth seeing.
