History
In the 14th century, after the Amir Sultan Mosque was built in the region during the Ottoman period and Amir Sultan's funeral was buried in the region,[2] the people of Bursa wanted to bury the deceased people here.[3] Upon this request, the area next to the mosque was turned into a cemetery. With the construction of the mosque and the cemetery, the population in the region increased and Emirsultan district was established.[4] Most of Bursa's famous people were buried in this cemetery.[5]
