Ílhavo () is a city and a municipality located in Aveiro District, Portugal. The population in 2011 was 38,598,〔(Instituto Nacional de Estatística )〕 in an area of 73.48 km².〔(Direção-Geral do Território )〕 The municipality of Ílhavo includes four parishes and two cities: Gafanha da Nazaré (about 15,000 inhabitants) and Ílhavo (around 17,000 residents). ==General information== Several stories have been gathered as part of the popular history of this city: Traditionally, the local women — ''As Ílhavenses'' — are famed for their great beauty. It is claimed the city was founded by Greek colonists around 400 BC to whom the beauty of "Ílhavenses" women is attributed, but others state that the Phoenician settlers are the ones responsible for that.〔"The South West to AD 1,000 (Regional history of England series No.:8)〕 Ílhavo's national nickname is "the city of the lamp" (''a cidade da lâmpada''). According to legend, one Sunday during Mass, one of the most important relics of the church (an oil lamp) was stolen in front of everybody and was never found. The myth continued and the Ílhavenses became known as "the cool ones". 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「Ílhavo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
