National Bank Palace

Reviewed By Tiberiu_Baranyi - Timisoara, Romania

Another beautiful building of Timisoara, one that is well maintained but can be admired from the outside only since it is a bank - the Palace of the National Bank. Built between 1903 and 1904 based on the design of Josef Hubert (renowned architect of the period his works can be found in several cities in western Romania) it originally served as the headquarters of the Austrian-Hungarian Bank . After 1918 - 1920 the building became the property of Romanian National Bank. It is built combining late baroque elements and secession style features , with beautiful decorations on the façade it is indeed a building to be admired. If you are in the area , check it out , it is worth a few minutes and few pics.

Stefania Palace

Reviewed By Tiberiu_Baranyi - Timisoara, Romania

The Stefania Palace - known under several names " The House with Monkeys" due to the animal characters decorating the façade of the palace or the Totisz Palace after the name of the Rudolf Totisz (former consul of Belgium in Timisoara) and the name "Stefania" was the name of his wife. Built on the design of Laszlo Szekely - the former Chief Architect of Timisoara - in 1909 the palace nowadays is in very condition, it is privately owned and can be seen from the streets near Traian square, however it is worth a few pics. Architectural style is Secession / Art Nouveau and the decorations are very interesting and the most impressive one is that of the pikeman in full armor on the tower towards the Millennium church. Overall the building is in very good shape and it is worth a visit once you are in the area.

Unirii Square

Reviewed By Tiberiu_Baranyi - Timisoara, Romania

If somebody would ask me to single out a spot in this beautiful city where I live I would say the "Unirii Square" - or Union Square if you like it more. It is one of the oldest squares in the city - in 1716 Eugen of Savoy liberated the city from the ottoman rule and with that started more than 2 centuries of Habsburg rule and also it began the transformation and rebuilding of the city. In Unirii Square you have most likely the greatest concentration of historical buildings , just to mention a few: - the Catholic Dome - built in the 18th century - 1774 it was finished. - the Baroque Palace - obviously built in a baroque style - over the centuries was hosting historical figures like Franz Joseph of Austria and the Royal Romanian couple King Ferdinand of Romania and Queen Mary of Romania. Nowadays is the home for the Art Museum of Timisoara. - the Serbian Orthodox Cathedral - built in 1748. - the Bruck House - built in Secession style. - the monument of the Holy Trinity - built after the bubonic plague ended in Banat ( 1731-1738 the plague was devastating the Banat region - the region where Timisoara is situated). This above are just a few of the buildings worth checking out. Also for those looking for a place to eat there are several restaurants : - the Drunken Rat - Pepper - In Thyme - Bistro M Just to mention a few of the places. (at the bottom I've chosen 3+ hours for the visit because I was considering that the average traveler will sit down for a few beers and have something to eat also, but for a fast visit you can do it in under 1 hour) A lot of things to see if you want to take a walk - several restaurants to choose from if you want to have lunch or dinner. So, once this world gets back to normal and you come again to visit Timisoara - come and check out Unirii Square, maybe you'll see me there too.
