Maria Theresia Bastion
Maria Theresa Bastion is the last remaining bastion of the former Austro-Hungarian fortress of Timișoara. It was built between 1730 and 1735 and bears the name of the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa. Originally, the fortress had nine bastions, but after the demolition of the fortifications in 1892, only this bastion remained. Today, the bastion is home to galleries, restaurants and bars that fill the historic ambience with contemporary life. In summer, outdoor concerts take place, transforming the inner courtyard into a lively cultural center.
