Mursko Središće ((ハンガリー語:Muraszerdahely), Kajkavian: ''Mursko Središče'') is the northernmost city in Croatia, located at (alt. 175 m) and one of the oldest localities in Međimurje County. Mursko Središće is a city with a total population of 6,307 (2011),〔 and an area of . It lies on the river Mura, the natural line dividing Croatia from Slovenia. Nearby places are Čakovec, Sveti Martin na Muri, Lendava, and Podturen. ==Early history== Mursko Središće is first mentioned in 1334 as ''Sancti Martini in Zredysche''. Historian Ivan Kukuljević-Sakcinski claimed that the site was occupied by the Romans and was known under the name of ''Helicanum''. If true, it would have been a strategic point on the road between Ptuj (Poetovio) in Slovenia and Carnuntum (Petronell) on the river Danube, the post between today's Vienna and Bratislava in Slovakia. The existing road was built in the 1st century. Other historians disagree, claiming that Helicanum might be today's Sveti Martin na Muri or nearby Lendava (Lendva). The city's residents have always been connected to their river. Since the 4th century BC, there have been reports of floating mills powered by the river's stream. The ancient know-how was later accepted by Slavs, then by Magyars upon their arrival. Several decades ago, many of them were scattered along the river banks. The last one in the city was still operating in the 1970s. In 1477, Mursko Središće was officially mentioned as an important trade post with three other places in Međimurje (Čakovec, Prelog and Nedelišće). In 1650, the city was known as Muraszerdahely and in 1660 the local chapel of ''St. Martin'' was documented. In 1716 the church, that of ''St. Ladislaus'', was built in the gothic style, but was ruined by the flood in 1690. It was then rebuilt in late baroque style. 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「Mursko Središće」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
