Prešov () is a city in eastern Slovakia. It is the seat of the administrative Prešov Region ((スロバキア語:Prešovský kraj)). With a population of approximately 91,352, it is the third-largest city in the country. There are many tourist attractions in Presov such as castles, pools, churches, and the beautiful city. Historically, the city has been known in German as ''Eperies'' (between 1938 and 1945 also ''Preschau''), ''Eperjes'' in Hungarian, ''Fragopolis'' in Latin, ''Preszów'' in Polish, ''Peryeshis'' in Romany, ''Пряшев'' (''Pryashev'') in Russian and ''Пряшів'' (''Priashiv'') in Rusyn and Ukrainian. Both ''eper'' and ''fragum; frago-'' in Hungarian and Latin, respectively, mean 'strawberry.' However, the names for the city in Slavic languages has another etymology. ==Characteristics== The city is a showcase of Baroque, Rococo and Gothic architecture. In the historical center, the main street is lined with churches and other buildings built in these styles. In the suburbs, however, the Soviet influence is clearly evident through the massive concrete panel buildings (''paneláky'') of the housing estates (''sídliska'') and the Sekčov district. More Soviet-style architecture is seen in the government buildings near the city center. Significant industries in the city include mechanical and electrical engineering companies and the clothing industry. Solivary, the only salt mining and processing company in Slovakia, also operates in the city. The city is a seat of a Greek Catholic metropolitan see. Many concerts, operas, operettas and stage plays are performed at the new building of the Jonáš Záborský Theatre (Divadlo Jonáša Záborského), as well as at the older theatre premises. The city and the region were contenders for European Capital of Culture 2013.〔See (Presov 2013 website )〕 The nearby city of Košice was chosen. 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「Prešov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
