Villa Somalia ((ソマリ語:''Villa Soomaaliya''), (アラビア語:فيلا الصومال)) is a building in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. It serves as the official residential palace and principal workplace of the President of Somalia. ==History== The edifice was built -in partially modern art deco style- by the colonial authorities in Italian Somaliland, serving as a residence for the Governors.〔(1938 Foto, showing the athletic race track near the newly built Villa Somalia )〕 Villa Somalia sits on high ground that overlooks Mogadishu on the Indian Ocean, with access to both the harbour and airport. It was originally a large, squarish stucco building with a tiled roof. The edifice was built in the new section of the city created by the Italians in the late 1930s: it was a famous symbol of modernist (art deco) architecture. Following independence in 1960, the building became the presidential palace of the President of the nascent Somali Republic.〔 After the start of the civil war and the overthrow of the Siad Barre administration in the early 1990s, various local faction leaders fought for control of and installed themselves in the residence. On 8 January 2007, Transitional Federal Government President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed entered Mogadishu for the first time since being elected to office. The government subsequently relocated to Villa Somalia from its interim location at Baidoa. As of January 2015, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud lives in and works out of Villa Somalia. The palace also hosts various Federal Government functions and events. Villa Somalia was attacked in February 2014. 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「Villa Somalia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
