İznik (English spelling)
A town in northwestern Turkey. Originating from the city of Nicaea, founded by the Kingdom of Macedonia in the 4th century BC, it became a province of the ancient Roman Empire in the 1st century BC. It became the first capital of the Seljuk Turks in the 11th century, but was recaptured by the Crusaders and the Byzantine Empire. It came under Ottoman control in the 13th century and took on its current name. The old town is surrounded by Roman walls, and in addition to the remains of a theater, the oldest Ottoman Haci Ozbek Mosque and the Yesil Mosque with its green minaret remain. It is a production center of Iznik pottery, which flourished in the 16th century, and tiles in particular were widely used to decorate Ottoman architecture.
