Timisoara

Timisoara is a very special town. It's located in the Western part of the country and it was also called "Little Vienna", because it belonged for a very long time to the Habsburg Empire and the entire city center consists of buildings built in the Kaiser era, which is reminiscent of the old Vienna. It is a multi-ethnic city, hosting besides Romanians, Hungarians, German, Serbs, Bulgarians, Jews, Greeks, Russian, in a harmonious community; and a multicultural town, an important university center with the emphasis on subjects like medicine and engineering. It was the first European town to be lit by electric street lamps, in 1884 and the second one with horse drawn trams. For almost twenty years now, it's been for us the town where the revolution began.
Here are a few places connected to those moments: the Liberty Square, Opera Square and Maria Square, the Metropolitan Cathedral, places where blood was shed. And, since we approach Christmas, a few merrier photos. I hope you like them. Point on photo to see caption.
