Brǎila - Brǎila (English spelling)

The capital of Braila County in southeastern Romania. It is a river port city on the eastern edge of the Romanian Plain, downstream of the Danube. It has a population of 216,929 (2002). The town has existed since ancient times, but its first recorded appearance was in the 14th century, when it appeared as a trading port called Brillago (or Drinago). In the 15th century, it became Turkish territory, and a fortress and settlement were built there, but in 1829, it was restored to Romania with the peace of Adrianople (now Edirne, Turkey). It is the second largest river port on the Danube after Galati, and is the starting point for ships bound for the Danube Delta. Industries such as steel, construction and transport machinery, shipbuilding, building materials, wood processing, textiles, and food are well developed. The Shunto Archangel Church was built as an Islamic mosque in the 17th century, but was converted into a Romanian Orthodox Church in 1831.

ルーマニア南東部、ブライラ県の県都。ドナウ川の下流、ルーマニア平原の東端にある河港都市。人口21万6929(2002)。町は古くから存在したが、記録上にみえるのは14世紀で、貿易港ブリラゴBrillago(またはドリナゴDrinago)として現れた。15世紀にはトルコ領となり、要塞(ようさい)や居留地がつくられたが、1829年アドリアノープル(現トルコのエディルネ)の和でふたたびルーマニアに帰属した。ドナウ川の河港としてはガラチに次ぐ同国第二の規模の港湾で、ドナウ・デルタ方面への船の始発港である。製鉄、建設・輸送機械、造船、建築資材、木材加工、繊維、食品などの工業が発達している。スフント・アルハンゲリ教会は17世紀にイスラム寺院として建立されたが、1831年にルーマニア正教会にかわった。
