Coronini ((:koroˈnini); until 1996 Pescari (:pesˈkarʲ); (ハンガリー語:Lászlóvára) or ''Koronini''; occasionally referred to as ''Peskari''〔Rieser, p.519〕 in German) is a commune in Caraş-Severin County, western Romania, with a population of 1,674.〔 Part of the region of Banat, it includes Coronini and Sfânta Elena villages. Situated on the Danube and the border with Serbia, part of the mountainous area known as Clisura Dunării, Coronini holds several archeological sites, which trace its history back to the Bronze Age. The locality is also home to a medieval fortress built by rulers of the Hungarian Kingdom. A center for immigration from the Czech lands in the early 19th century, Sfânta Elena is among the traditional places founded by and associated with the Czech-Romanian community. Coronini as a whole was transformed by 20th century political changes, industrialization and economic fluctuations: Coronini village became a center for the mining industry, while Sfânta Elena was heavily affected rural-urban migration, and eventually by voluntary resettlement in the Czech Republic. During the 1990s, the commune became ill-famed as a hub for contraband in petroleum products. ==Location and demographics== The Coronini commune is located on the foothills of the Southern Carpathians, where these meet the Danube, and in proximity to the Clisura Dunării and Iron Gates areas. Facing Serbia on the right bank of the Danube, it is also close to a canyon formed by the Alibeg River.〔Pătroescu & Rozyłowicz, p.110〕 The Sfânta Elena area is located on a karstic plateau, which groups sinkholes and limestone pavements, features also present in neighboring areas (Berzasca, the Mudaviţa Seacă Valley, etc.).〔 The area has also been described as fault plain, part of the Banat Mountains graben (itself known as ''Coroniniului'' or ''Lászlóvára'').〔G. Z. Földvary, ''Geology of the Carpathian Region'', World Scientific, Singapore, 1988, p.493. ISBN 9971-5-0344-1〕 Coronini lends its name to the Coronini-Bedina nature reserve, which covers 3,864.80 hectares.〔 (''Situaţia ariilor naturale protejate constituite conform Legii 5/2003 şi H.G 2151/2004'' ), (Environmental Protection Agency Caraş-Severin ) release, p.1, 4; retrieved August 20, 2009〕 It is also, with Sicheviţa, the proposed site of a new nature reserve, ''Fețele Dunării'' ("Facets of the Danube"), which is supposed to cover some 1,100 hectares.〔 According to the 2011 census, the commune is home to 1,381 Romanians and 289 Czechs.〔 At the 2002 census, most of the 1,878 inhabitants were Romanian Orthodox (1,120 people), while 382 were Baptist and 368 Roman Catholic.〔 ("Coronini" ), at the (Erdélyi Magyar Adatbank )'s (''Recensământ 2002'' ); retrieved August 21, 2009〕 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「Coronini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
