Timisoara Piaţa Unirii

Piaţa Unirii is the heart of the old town and is Timişoara's most picturesque square.

The eastern side of the square is dominated by the baroque 1754 Roman Catholic Cathedral. The main altar painting was completed by Michael Angelo Unterberger, director of the Fine Art Academy in Vienna.

The Trinity Column, in the center of the square, was erected by the people of Timisoara at the end of the 18th century in thanks to God for allowing them to survive the plague that hit the town between 1738 and 1739.

The building on the left is the baroque Old Prefecture Palace, which houses an Art Museum.

Entrance to the Museum.

The Serbian Orthodox Cathedral was also built in 1754 and was painted by a local Banat artist. This is the door knocker to the church. Someone painted him some eyebrows and a mustache. hehe

The buildings were built so close.

The entrance to the public FREE toilets. Most public toilets cost money to use.

Memorial spring listing all the names of the people who died in Timisoara during the revolution.
