Istanbul (English spelling)

Japanese: イスタンブル(英語表記)Istanbul
Istanbul (English spelling)
A Turkish city on the Bosphorus Strait, an outlet of the Black Sea. Founded as a Greek colony, it has been a key transportation point since ancient times and was called Byzantium, but was called Constantinople after Constantine I designated it as the capital of the Roman Empire. In the Middle Ages, it flourished as the capital of the Byzantine Empire and as a cultural center. After the Ottoman occupation in 1453, it was renamed Istanbul and became its capital and the center of Islamic culture. With the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923 and the transfer of the capital to Ankara, it has been officially called Istanbul (Turkish for Muslim town. It has been called this internally since the Ottoman period). It has the Suleiman Mosque and Topkapi Palace (now the National Museum).

黒海の出口ボスポラス海峡にのぞむトルコの都市
ギリシア人の植民市として建てられ,古来,交通の要地で,ビザンティウムと呼ばれていたが,コンスタンティヌス1世がローマ帝国の首都に定めてからコンスタンティノープルと呼ばれ,中世にはビザンツ帝国の首都として,また文化の中心として栄えた。その後,1453年のオスマン帝国による占領後,イスタンブルと改称され,その首都となり,イスラーム文化の中心となった。1923年のトルコ共和国の成立と首都のアンカラ移転にともない,1930年以後,公式にイスタンブル(イスラーム教徒の町を意味するトルコ語。オスマン時代から,内部的にはこう呼ばれた)と呼ばれるようになった。スレイマン−モスクやトプカプ宮殿(現在は国立博物館)などがある。
