Talk:Bursa

message: I live below the chekerge "cricket as in the insect" district, and I think the hot bathes could use a little more attention since going to hamam has been an attraction of bursa for centuries.
I'll get you started: the first notable bath was built by the roman emperor justinian 1 and was laiter rebuilt/restored/converted be sulyman or some other ottoman emperor and still functions today, if your planning on visiting, it's not the nicest bath in bursa, nicer ones can be found at higher end hotels and stuff some of which are still quite old with roman and early ottoman roots.

message: The article says "Karagöz and Hacivat shadow play characters were historic personalities who lived and who are buried in Bursa." There are certainly legends to that effect, but I am surprised at the blind statement of that as fact, without even a citation. - Jmabel | Talk 18:04, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

text: There are reliable sources, including the Classical Gazetteer, claiming that before Prusias rebuilt the city it was named Cius. I don't doubt your etymology of the King's name, but how do we know that he was named after this city? Prusias' name might have been given without regard to meaning (King Philip of Macedon probably wasn't thus named for his fondness of horses), or it might refer to another city of the same name.
