The National Theatre and Opera House (Romanian: Teatrul Național și Opera Română) on Piața Victoriei houses the Teatrul Național "Mihai Eminescu" and the Opera Națională Română din Timișoara. It has 711 seats and is a landmark of the city. The Palace of Culture uniquely houses four institutions: the Romanian National Opera and spoken theatre in three languages: Romanian, German, and Hungarian. In the right wing of the building, the German State Theatre Timișoara and the Hungarian State Theatre "Csiky Gergely" are located in a 100-seat theatre hall. This is due to the fact that Romanians, Hungarians, Serbs, Germans, Bulgarians, Slovaks, Jews, and Roma have lived and continue to live together in the Banat region. The building was constructed between 1871 and 1875. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationaltheater_und_Opernhaus_Timi%C8%99oara

Piața Victoriei (Victory Square), also known as Piața Operei (Opera Square), is a square in the present-day city center of Timișoara, a city in western Romania. It is considered the city's most famous promenade. During the Romanian Revolution of 1989, which led to the violent overthrow of the regime under Nicolae Ceaușescu, the present-day Piața Victoriei was a central site of the first mass demonstrations and bloody unrest. Among other things, revolutionaries delivered their speeches from the balcony of the opera house. Even today, bullet holes are still visible in the facades of the buildings to the left and right of this grand promenade. Next to the theater, a simple wooden cross, burning candles, and flowers commemorate the victims of the uprising. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pia%C8%9Ba_Victoriei_(Timi%C8%99oara)

At the southern end of Victory Square, the Monument to the Crucifixion was erected in 1999. It is a stainless steel work by the Romanian-English sculptor Paul Neagu, dedicated to the victims of the 1989 Revolution.

Unfinished bike lane, very well done with plans to be finished in near future, and connects 2-3 places to visit from which a small lake with dragon flies and water lilies, a private park + forest but also a good place to train(jog, run, walk pets and why not a light ride).😁👍🏻

Fun fact: Timisoara's electronic street lighting is the oldest in continental Europe. On November 12, 1884, 731 lamps were put into operation in the city center, illuminating nearly 60 kilometers of streets, which was a European record at the time and second only to New York in the world.

Since the cathedral was built on the alluvial land of the Bega River, it stands on a foundation of oak logs that were hermetically buried in the ground.
