Victoria Square

Victory Square was originally a main boulevard, transformed into a square at the beginning of the 20th century with the demolition of the old citadel. This transformation aimed to reconfigure the city center and facilitate urban development. Today, the square is surrounded by some of Timișoara's most important cultural institutions: The Romanian Opera, the National Theatre, the Hungarian State Theatre, the German State Theatre, the Mitropolitan Cathedral, the Timiș and Studio cinemas, the National Museum of Banat, numerous art galleries, as well as a variety of shops.
