The municipality covers an area of , and consists of 35 villages.〔 OSCE Mission in Kosovo: (Municipal profile of Zvečan ), April 2008. – Retrieved on 15 May 2009.〕 As of 2014, the municipality has a population of approximately 7,341.〔 == History == The town of Zvečan is located near Mitrovica. It was mentioned for the first time in connection with the border clashes between the Serbs and Byzantines between 1091 and 1094. There is also an inscription that Grand Prince Stefan Nemanja, after the victory over the Byzantines in 1170, ordered that a prayer for the successful outcome of the battle be held in the church of St. George at Zvečan. In the 13th and 14th centuries Zvečan was one of the royal residences of the Serbian court. Queen Theodora died there in December 1322, and nine years later her husband, Stefan Uroš III was imprisoned and strangled there.〔Bury, John Bagnell ''et al.'' (eds.) (1923) (''The Cambridge Medieval History'' ) Macmillan, New York, p. 539, 〕 First the Musić, then the Vojinović noble family, held the fortified city and region during the Serbian Empire of Uroš V (r. 1355–1371). As imperial power collapsed Zvečan was in a disputed zone being held by Miloš Pović in 1370 but claimed by Nikola Altomanović.〔Rade Mihaljčić, Kraj srpskog carstva, pp121-2〕 In 1389, after the Battle of Kosovo, it was integrated into the Ottoman Empire and later became part of the Sanjak of Novi Pazar.〔(Map of Turkey and Greece ) 1847, from ''Sharpe's Corresponding Maps'' Chapman and Hall, London〕 From 1878 to 1908 it, along with the rest of the Sanjak, was administered by the Austro-Hungarian Empire as a result of the Congress of Berlin. But in 1908 it was returned to Turkey. On the highest spot, i.e., the Upper Town, there are remains of the church of St. George, cistern and the main octagonal tower. The ramparts of this part of the fort are reinforced by massive towers. The main entrance to the town was on the western side. 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「Zvečan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
