بروج (هولندية: Brugge؛ إنگليزية: Bruges) مدينة بلجيكية ذات جمال طبيعي أخاذ، يبلغ عدد سكانها 116,724نسمة. تقع المدينة على بعد 90كم شمال غربي بروكسل. انظر: بلجيكا. تشتهر بروج بمنتجات الدانتيل والمنسوجات والمعادن. يعمل معظم سكان المدينة في صناعة الخمور وتقطيرها وصناعة بناء السفن وإصلاحها والسياحة.

يعني اسم هذه المدينة القديمة مدينة الجسور. يتخلل العديد من الجسور شبكات القنوات الجارية بها، تجذب مباني هذه المدينة التي يرجع تاريخها إلى العصور الوسطى بلوحاتها التشكيلية ومنحوتاتها الجميلة الزوار، ولقاعة السوق التي بنيت في القرن الثالث عشر الميلادي برج جرسي به 47 جرسًا. أما قاعة المدينة التي بنيت على طراز العمارة القوطي فقد بنيت في القرن الرابع عشر الميلادي.

The area of the whole city amounts to more than 14,099 hectares (140.99 km2; 54.44 sq miles), including 1,075 hectares off the coast, at Zeebrugge (from Brugge aan zee,[1] meaning 'Bruges by the Sea').[2] The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. It is oval and about 430 hectares in size. The city's total population is 117,073 (1 January 2008),[3] of whom around 20,000 live in the city centre. The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 616 km2 (238 sq mi) and had a total of 255,844 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008.[4]

Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam and Saint Petersburg, it is sometimes referred to as the Venice of the North. Bruges has significant economic importance, thanks to its port, and was once one of the world's chief commercial cities.[5][6] Bruges is a major tourism destination within Belgium and is well known as the seat of the College of Europe, a university institute for European studies.[7]

أصل الاسم

أقدم ذِكر لاسم الموقع هو Bruggas, Brvggas or Brvccia in AD 840–875. Afterwards, it appears as Bruciam and Bruociam (892); as Brutgis uico (late ninth century); as in portu Bruggensi (1010ح. 1010); as Bruggis (1012); as Bricge in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (1037); as Brugensis (1046); as Brycge in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (1049–1052); as Brugias (1072); as Bruges (1080–1085); as Bruggas (1084ح. 1084); as Brugis (1089); and as Brugge (1116).[8]

The name probably derives from the Old Dutch for 'bridge': brugga. Also compare Middle Dutch brucge, brugge (or brugghe, brigghe, bregghe, brogghe), and modern Dutch bruggehoofd ('bridgehead') and brug ('bridge').[9] The form brugghe would be a southern Dutch variant.[10] The Dutch word and the English bridge both derive from Proto-Germanic *brugjō-.[11]


التاريخ

الأصول

Bruges was a location of coastal settlement during prehistory. This Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement are unrelated to medieval city development. In the Bruges area, the first fortifications were built after Julius Caesar's conquest of the Menapii in the first century BC, to protect the coastal area against pirates. The Franks took over the whole region from the Gallo-Romans around the fourth century and administered it as the Pagus Flandrensis. The Viking incursions of the ninth century prompted Count Baldwin I of Flanders to reinforce the Roman fortifications; trade soon resumed with England and Scandinavia. Early medieval habitation starts in the ninth and tenth centuries on the Burgh terrain, probably with a fortified settlement and church.[12]
