إزنيق İznik، وكانت تاريخياً تُعهد بإسم نيقيا (Nicaea ؛ باليونانية: Νίκαια)، هي بلدة وقضاء إداري في محافظة بورصة، هجريا. The town lies in a fertile basin at the eastern end of Lake İznik, bounded by ranges of hills to the north and south. مسافة الخط المستقيم بين إزنيق واسطنبول هي 90 كم جنوب شرق اسطنبول but by road it is 200 kم (656,168 قدم) around the Gulf of Izmit. وتبعد 80 كم بالطريق عن بورصا.
The town was an important producer of highly decorated fritware vessels and tiles in the 16th and 17th centuries.
التاريخ
- للتاريخ قبل الفتح العثماني، انظر منطقة نيقيا.
في 1331، استولى على المدينة أورخان الأول from the Byzantines and for a short period the town became the capital of the expanding Ottoman emirate. The large church of Hagia Sophia in the centre of the town was converted into a mosque and became known as the Orhan Mosque. A madrasa and baths were built nearby. In 1334 Orhan built a mosque and an عمارت (مائدة الرحمن) مباشرة خارج بوابة ينيشهر (Yenişeh Kapısı) في الجانب الجنوبي من البلدة.
The Arab traveller, Ibn Battuta, stayed in Iznik at the end of 1331 soon after the capture of the town by Orhan. According to Ibn Battuta, the town was in ruins and only inhabited by a small number of people who were in the service of the sultan. Within the city walls were gardens and cultivated plots with each house surrounded by an orchard. The town produced fruit, walnuts, chestnuts and large sweet grapes.

The town became a major center with the creation of a local faïence pottery-making industry during the Ottoman period in the 17th century (known as the İznik Çini, Çin meaning China). Iznik tiles were used to decorate many of the mosques in Istanbul designed by Mimar Sinan. However, this industry declined in the 18th century and İznik became a mainly agricultural minor town in the area when a major railway bypassed it in the 19th century. Currently the style of pottery referred to as the İznik Çini is to some extent produced locally, but mainly in كوتاهية, where the quality – which was in decline – has been restored to its former glory.
