Gellért Hill ((ハンガリー語:Gellért-hegy); (ドイツ語:Blocksberg); (ラテン語:Mons Sancti Gerhardi); (トルコ語:Gürz İlyas Bayırı)) is a high hill overlooking the Danube in Budapest, Hungary. It is part of the 1st and 11th Districts. Gellért Hill was named after Saint Gerard who was thrown to death from the hill. The famous Hotel Gellért and the Gellért Baths can be found in Gellért Square at the foot of the hill, next to Liberty Bridge. The Gellért Hill Cave is located within the hill, facing toward Hotel Gellért and the Danube River. At the top of the hill is the Citadella (Citadel), from which a view is available down both directions of the Danube. == Name == The first recorded names of the hill in the Middle Ages were ''Kelen-hegy'', ''Pesti-hegy'' and ''Blocksberg''. It was called ''Szent Gellért hegye'' (lit. the hill of St. Gerard) from the 15th century onwards, referring to the legend about the death of St. Gerard. The saintly bishop was killed by the pagans during the great pagan rebellion in 1046. He was put in a barrel and rolled down into the deep from the top of the hill. The former name, Pesti-hegy ((ラテン語:Mons Pestiensis)) referred to the large cave (now Gellért Hill Cave) in the hillside. The word is of Slavic origin and means oven or cave.〔(A Rend külföldön )〕 The Ottoman Turks called the hill ''Gürz Elyas bayiri''.〔http://geo.organic.hu/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_view&gid=37〕 Gürz Elyas was a holy man from the Bektashi order whose shrine and grave on top of the hill was a place of pilgrimage in the 17th century.〔(MN Magyar Nemzet )〕 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「Gellért Hill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
