''De facto'', it is the capital of the Gazimağusa District of Northern Cyprus. It is located east of Nicosia, and possesses the deepest harbour of the island. During the medieval period (especially under the maritime republics of Genoa and Venice), Famagusta was the island's most important port city, and a gateway to trade with the ports of the Levant, from where the Silk Road merchants carried their goods to Western Europe. ==Name== In antiquity, the town was known as ''Arsinoe'' (), after Arsinoe II of Egypt, and was mentioned by that name by Strabo. In Greek it is called ''Ammochostos'' (), meaning "hidden in () sand". This name developed into ''Famagusta'' (originally ''Famagouste'' in French and ''Famagosta'' in Italian), used in Western European languages and the Turkish name, ''Mağusa''. In Turkish it is also called ; Gazi is a Turkish prefix meaning ''veteran'', and was awarded officially after 1974 (compare Gaziantep). In Armenian, Famagusta is called ''Famagust'a''. The old town is nicknamed "the city of 365 churches" owing to a legend that at its peak, Famagusta boasted one church for each day of the year. 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「Famagusta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
