The Tomb of Murad II, located in Osmangazi, Bursa, was built in 1451 by his son Fatih Sultan Mehmet for the 6th Ottoman Sultan, Murad II. Situated within the Muradiye Complex, the tomb is notable for its open-domed structure, which allows rain to fall directly onto the grave, a feature requested by Murad II himself to symbolize humility. This design makes it unique among Ottoman tombs. The tomb also houses the graves of Murad II's sons, Şehzade Alaaddin and Şehzade Ahmet, and his daughters, Hatice Sultan and Şehzade Hatun. It is 334 meters from the T1-Altıparmak tram stop.
