:''For similarly named places, please see Al-Jdayde (disambiguation).'' Al-Jdayde ((アラビア語:جديدة), also transliterated as ''al-Jdeideh'', ''al-Judayda'', ''al-Jdeïdé'' or ''al-Jdeydeh'') is a historic neighbourhood in the Syrian city of Aleppo. It is noted for its winding narrow alleys, richly decorated mansions and churches and has become an area of significant cultural and historical interest. ==History== At the end of the Mamluk period, al-Jdayde was a small suburb benefiting from a few shops located outside of city’s northern walls and near the cemeteries and storage areas. The development of the city along the roads connecting the Bab al-Nasr gate with neighbouring villages to the North and northeast progressively integrated Jdayde into the city of Aleppo.〔Hazzazé to the north-west, Ramadaniyé to the north-east and Banqousa to the east〕 By the late 14th century, these quarters were equipped with ''khutba'' mosques and fountains made possible by a network of water works. A new water duct, opened in 1490–91, facilitated the further extension of the Jdayde neighbourhood and the creation of its hammams.〔Sauvaget, Jean (1941) Alep, essai sur le développement d’une grande ville syrienne des origines au milieu du XIXe siècle, texte et album, librairie orientaliste Paul Geuthner, Paris : Carte des canalisations mameloukes, p. 182.〕 Christian cemeteries and probably also the remains of ancient churches of the Byzantine period are to be found in the West side of the al-Jdayde suburb. The earlier settlement of Salibeh in this ancient Christian sector, followed by the development of Jdayde, reflects the growth of the Christian population and its desire to reside together in specific areas.〔Heghnar Zeitlian Watenpaugh (2004), The image of an Ottoman city: imperial architecture and urban experience in Aleppo in the 16th and 17th centuries, Leiden: EJ Brill, pp. 158-9〕 Most churches, newly built or enlarged, are found around a square next to the Salibeh intersection, notably, the Armenian Gregorian Church which was enlarged in 1490,〔Sauvaget (1941) p. 179.〕 the Greek Orthodox, the Maronite and the Syriac churches. The neighbourhood was gradually settled by notables as well as less affluent residents.〔Churches and houses shared the same principle of discretion with an absence of facades shown on exterior elevations especially on the main streets. It seems that certain churches may have had their entrances at the end of cul-de-sacs.〕 The Armenians, who specialized in trade with Persia and India, were the predominant inhabitants. During the 16th and 17th centuries, following the Ottoman conquest, the neighbourhood was subdivided into rectangular land parcels.〔David, Jean-Claude. (1982) « Urbanisation spontanée et planification » Les cahiers de la recherche architecturale, n°10-11.〕 Two large Muslim waqfs (religious trusts), founded in 1583-90 and in 1653, have been for centuries the heart of the area. These two architectural ensembles, with richly decorated facades and regular layout, hosted the majority of the commercial and social services for the neighbourhood, where Muslim and Christian, rich and poor, lived side by side. They included a fountain in front of the Christian quarter, a café, a large hammam, a small mosque and a school for Muslim pupils, a cloth market, four large textile workshops,〔The three qaysariya du waqf Ipchir Pacha have been held more than eighty textile operations each with two to four looms thus possibly hosted more than 250 craftsmen at the peak of activities in the area.〕 a vast cereal warehouse, and various souks for food and local services.〔David, Jean-Claude, (2004) « La production de l’espace dans la ville ottomane » Les relations entre musulmans et chrétiens dans le Bilad al-Cham, p. 178–179.〕 In 1990–2000, al-Jdayde—noted for its winding narrow alleys, richly decorated mansions and churches—became an area of significant cultural, historical and tourist interest for national and international visitors. Many of the neighbourhood’s historic palaces were transformed into museums, boutique hotels and restaurants. Some of the most important historic buildings of the al-Jdayde quarter include: Beit Wakil, Beit Ghazaleh, Dar Zamaria, Beit Achiqbash,〔Transliteration: Beit Ajiqbash, Beit Ajikbash〕 Dar Basile and Beit Dallal. The squares of Sahat Farhat and Sahat Al Hatab are found in Jdayde. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Al-Jdayde」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
