Nesebar (often transcribed as Nessebar and sometimes as Nesebur, (ブルガリア語:Несебър), pronounced (:nɛˈsɛbɐr), Thracian: ''Melsambria'', , ''Mesembria'') is an ancient town and one of the major seaside resorts on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast, located in Burgas Province. It is the administrative centre of the homonymous Nesebar Municipality. Often referred to as the "''Pearl of the Black Sea''", Nesebar is a rich city-museum defined by more than three millennia of ever-changing history. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations and seaports on the Black Sea, in what has become a popular area with several large resorts—the largest, Sunny Beach, is situated immediately to the north of Nesebar. Nesebar has on several occasions found itself on the frontier of a threatened empire, and as such it is a town with a rich history. The ancient part of the town is situated on a peninsula (previously an island) connected to the mainland by a narrow man-made isthmus, and it bears evidence of occupation by a variety of different civilisations over the course of its existence. Its abundance of historic buildings prompted UNESCO to include Nesebar in its list of World Heritage Sites in 1983. As of December 2009, the town has a population of 11,626 inhabitants.〔 (Bulgarian National Statistical Institute - towns in 2009 )〕 ==Name== The settlement was known in Greek as ''Mesembria'' ((ギリシア語:Μεσήμβρια)), sometimes mentioned as ''Mesambria'' or ''Melsembria'', the latter meaning the city of Melsas. According to a reconstruction the name might derive from Thracian ''Melsambria''. Nevertheless, the Thracian origin of that name seems to be doubtful. Moreover, the tradition pertaining to Melsas, as founder of the city is tenuous and belongs to a cycle of etymological legends abundant among Greek cities. It also appears that the story of Melsas was a latter reconstruction of the Hellenistic era, when Mesembria was an important coastal city. 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「Nesebar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
