The Armenian Church, located in Bursa's Yıldırım district, is a historical place of worship estimated to have been built in the 19th century. It was constructed for the Armenian community that densely populated the Setbaşı neighborhood before the Republic. After the community left the region following the Turkish War of Independence, the church was used as a tobacco warehouse for a period and lost its original features. Currently, Yıldırım Municipality aims to restore it and bring it back to cultural life under the name Setbaşı Art Center. It is within walking distance of Yeşil Türbe (330 m), Irgandi Bridge (180 m), and Gazi Orhan Mosque (738 m). The nearest public transport stop is the T3-Gökdere/Panorama tram stop (529 m).

Located in Osmangazi, Bursa, the Karagöz Museum is Turkey's first and only museum dedicated to the traditional Turkish shadow play of Karagöz and Hacivat. Opened in 2007 by the Bursa Metropolitan Municipality, the museum is housed in a building that was previously a power distribution station. The museum showcases the historical process of Karagöz culture, the production stages of the figures used in shadow plays, and the works of important shadow play masters. The nearest public transport is the Sırameşeler / Kükürtlü metro stop, 437 meters away.
