Rozafa castle ((アルバニア語:Kalaja e Rozafës)) is a castle near the city of Shkodër, in northwestern Albania. It rises imposingly on a rocky hill, 130 metres above sea level, surrounded by the Bojana and Drin rivers. Shkodër is the capital of the Shkodër County, and is one of Albania's oldest and most historic towns, as well as an important cultural and economic centre. ==History== Due to its strategic location, the hill has been settled since antiquity. It was an Illyrian stronghold until it was captured by the Romans in 167 BC.〔A. Evans et al., Ancient Illyria: An Archaeological Exploration, 2006, p 83〕 The 19th-century German author and explorer Johann Georg von Hahn suggested that the ancient and medieval city of Shkodër was located immediately south of the Rozafa hill, between the hill and the confluence of Buna and Drin. The fortifications, as they have been preserved to date, are mostly of Venetian origin.〔J.G. von Hahn, Albanesische Studien, Jena 1854, pp 94-96.〕 The castle has been the site of several famous sieges, including the siege of Shkodra by the Ottomans in 1478 and the siege of Shkodra by the Montenegrins in 1912. The castle and its surroundings form an Archaeological Park of Albania. 2013-10-03 View from Rozafa Castle, Shkodër 0271.jpg|Shkodra, as seen from the castle 2013-10-03 View from Rozafa Castle, Shkodër 0315.jpg|River Buna (r) joins the Drin (l) File:2013-10-03 Rozafa Castle, Shkodër 0328.jpg File:2013-10-03 Rozafa Castle, Shkodër 0263.jpg File:2013-10-03 Rozafa Castle, Shkodër 0339.jpg|Minaret of the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Mosque File:2013-10-03 Rozafa Castle, Shkodër 0341.jpg File:Shkodra 1863.jpg|Rozafa castle in 1863 File:Rozafa Castle.jpg|Church of the Holy Mother of God File:Pevnost Rozafa.jpg|Closeup File:Rozafa Castle Ruins.jpg|Ruins of the castle 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「Rozafa Castle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
