A city in the Asturias region in northern Spain. Population 201,154 (2001). Located at an altitude of 220 meters in the Naron River basin at the northern foot of the Cantabric Mountains. Blessed with underground resources such as coalfields and iron mines, it is a large industrial city centered on the chemical industry such as steel, ammunition, and coal. Products are shipped from the outer port of Gijon, 20 kilometers north. It was the base of the 7-century resistance movement against the Moors, known as the Reconquista. From 810 to 100 years later, it was the capital of the Principality of Asturias. There are many historical sites, including a large Gothic cathedral. These were burned and destroyed during the miners' uprising and establishment of the commune in 1934, and during the long siege (1936-37) during the Spanish Civil War, but were later restored.

スペイン北部、アストゥリアス地方の都市。人口20万1154(2001)。カンタブリカ山脈北麓(ほくろく)、ナロン川流域の標高220メートルに位置する。炭田、鉄鉱山などの地下資源に恵まれ、鉄鋼をはじめ、弾薬や石炭などの化学工業を中心とする大工業都市。製品は北20キロメートルの外港ヒホンから積み出される。7世紀間にわたるムーア人に対する抵抗運動、すなわち国土回復戦争(レコンキスタ)の基地となった。810年から100年間はアストゥリアス公国の首都であった。ゴシック様式の大寺院をはじめ、多くの史跡がある。これらは1934年の鉱夫らの蜂起(ほうき)・コミューン樹立やスペイン内戦時の長い包囲戦(1936~37)によって焼失、破壊などの損害を受けたが、その後修復された。 [田辺 裕・滝沢由美子] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
