Yesil Turbe was built in 1421 by Murad II, the son and successor of Mehmed I. The mausoleum was designed by Haci Ivaz Pasha who also designed the Yesil Mosque next to it.

The mausoleum takes its name from the green-blue tiles that cover the external walls of the mausoleum. These are mostly replacement tiles as an earthquake in 1855 damaged the majority of the originals.
