English: Nueva Esparta (New Sparta) is one of the 23 states (estados) of Venezuela. It comprises Margarita Island (by far the largest and most important island), Coche, and uninhabited Cubagua. The state is the smallest one in area, and is located off the northeast Caribbean coast of Venezuela. It is the only insular state of Venuezuela. Its name comes from the heroísm shown by its inhabitants during the Venezuelan War of Independence, deemed similar to that of the Spartan soldiers of Ancient Greece. The main island of Margarita alone has an area of 934 km². In 1909 the state was constituted and in 1947 the island of Cubagua was added. Its capital city is La Asunción, but the main urban center is Porlamar.

Español: Nueva Esparta es un estado federal de Venezuela, ubicado al noreste del país, siendo el único Estado Federal insular y el de menor superficie de la nación. El estado posee gran cantidad de monumentos históricos, en la iglesia de Santa Ana fue declarada la Tercera República de Venezuela, y, Simón Bolívar, su presidente. El Estado fue designado con ese nombre a partir del 12 de mayo de 1817, con el propósito de hacer un homenaje al heroísmo de los habitantes de la isla de Margarita durante la guerra de Independencia de Venezuela, calificado como "Heroísmo espartano", porque hizo recordar la valentía de los ciudadanos de la capital de la porción de Laconia (Esparta), en la península del Peloponeso, en la antigua Grecia. Aquí nacieron Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa, Santiago Mariño y otros grandes personajes de la historia regional y nacional.

Il comprend les îles de Margarita (de loin la plus grande et plus importante, avec une surface de 934 km² à elle seule), Coche et Cubagua (inhabitée). C’est le seul État insulaire du Venezuela, et le plus petit de la région, il est localisé sur la côte antillaise au nord-est du Venezuela. Son nom vient de l’héroïsme montré par ses habitants durant la guerre d’indépendance vénézuelienne, jugé semblable à celui des soldats spartiates de la Grèce antique. L’État a été constitué en 1909 et l’île de Cubagua a été ajoutée en 1947. Sa ville capitale est Asunción, mais le principal centre urbain est Porlamar.
