Târgovişte (English spelling)

Japanese: トゥルゴビシュテ - とぅるごびしゅて(英語表記)Târgovişte
Târgovişte (English spelling)

The capital of Dambovișta County in central-southern Romania. After the collapse of the socialist regime of Ceaușescu in 1989, the Romanian language reverted to the pre-1945 writing system, and accordingly, Târgoviște reverted from Tîrgoviște, which was used during the socialist period, to Târgoviște. It is located about 75 km northwest of the capital Bucharest, where the Ialomișta River flows from the Southern Carpathian Mountains and meets the Romanian plain. Population 89,429 (2002). It is located in an oil field area, and the oil extraction machinery industry is well developed. It is a key location for railway transportation. It developed as a trading city with Transylvania from the end of the 14th century, and later became the capital (1383-1698) of the Principality of Wallachia (Romanian name: Tsara Romaneasca), and was the economic, political, and cultural center. The 15th century Kindije Tower and the 16th century Domneasca Church remain.
