Harmancık

Harmancık lies in the wooded mountains south of Bursa, between the heights of Asar and Küplü. Once a small settlement dependent on Adranos, it belonged to a frontier district brought under Ottoman rule in the early fourteenth century. Yörük communities settled in the surrounding uplands, where villages and grazing grounds shared the broken terrain. Remains near İlıcaksu recall the region's earlier Roman past.
