The construction of the Yesil Complex, also known as a Sultaniye complex, was commenced in 1419 by Celebi Sultan Mehmet. Together with the other buildings, the complex was not completed due to the sudden death of the Sultan.
The Green complex has been serving as the Turkish and Islamic works museum since 1975. The museum contains exhibits dating from 13th to the 20th century, including Seljuk Principality, and Ottoman period tie and ceramic works, wooden, carved and inlaid works, examples of Turkish metal art, tombs, and other works.
Seljuk and Ottoman coins and traditional Turkish handicrafts and apparel.
