Svilajnac (pronounced /sviːlaɪnʌt͡s/; ) is a town and municipality located in central Serbia at 44.13° North, 21.12° East, south-east of Belgrade, on the banks of the river Resava, and bordering the river Morava. Its name stems from the word for silk in Serbian. It is the ''de facto'' administrative center of the Resava region. The population of the town is 9,131 while municipality has 23,391. ==History== Svilajnac was first mentioned in Ottoman records in 1467 as a village with a hundred households. The village, and later town, gained prominence through its silk production, from which it derives its name (''svila'', "silk"). Located in central Serbia, it flourished as a trading center, where silk, wool and livestock were traded. Svilajnac is the birthplace of revolutionary Stevan Sinđelić; a statue in his honor was raised in the central square of Svilajnac. From 1929 to 1941, Sviljanac was part of the Morava Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. One of only several bridges across the Morava is located in Svilajnac, giving it a unique strategic value. During the Second World War, the original bridge was destroyed by the retreating Yugoslav Army. After the war, the bridge was rebuilt with German war reparations. On 3 September 2007 there was a Democratic Party initiative to depose the president of the municipality Dobrivoje Budimirovic "Bidža" (Serbian Radical Party). It failed, partially due to the opposition of the Democratic Party of Serbia. 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「Svilajnac」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
