Tripoli
Tripoli ((アラビア語:طرابلس), ; Berber: Ṭrables) is the ''de jure'' capital city and the largest city of Libya. Tripoli, with its metropolitan area, has a population of about 1.1 million people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MAJOR URBAN AREAS - POPULATION )〕 The city is located in the northwestern part of Libya on the edge of the desert, on a point of rocky land projecting into the Mediterranean and forming a bay.
Tripoli includes the Port of Tripoli and the country's largest commercial and manufacturing centre. It is also the site of the University of Tripoli. The vast Bab al-Azizia barracks, which includes the former family estate of Muammar Gaddafi, is also located in the city. Colonel Gaddafi largely ruled the country from his residence in this barracks.
Tripoli was founded in the 7th century BC by the Phoenicians, who named it Oea. Due to the city's long history, there are many sites of archaeological significance in Tripoli. "Tripoli" may also refer to the ''shabiyah'' (top-level administrative division in the current Libyan system), the Tripoli District.
== Name ==
Tripoli is also known as Tripoli-of-the-West ((アラビア語:طرابلس الغرب) ), to distinguish it from its older Phoenician sister city Tripoli, Lebanon known in Arabic as ''Ṭarābulus al-Sham'' (طرابلس الشام) meaning "Levantine Tripoli". It is affectionately called ''The Mermaid of the Mediterranean'' ((アラビア語:عروسة البحر) ; lit: "bride of the sea"), describing its turquoise waters and its whitewashed buildings. Tripoli is a Greek name that means "Three Cities", introduced in Western European languages through the Italian ''Tripoli''. In (アラビア語:طرابلس) it is called ''(unicode:Ṭarābulus)'' (, Libyan Arabic: ''(unicode:Ṭrābləs)'' , Berber: ''Ṭrables'', from ''(unicode:Trípolis)''). Compare Sanskrit, "tri" meaning the number 3, and "pura" meaning a fortress, castle, city or town. Hence, in Sanskrit "Tripura" also means "Three Cities".
