THE CITY OF FLOWERS1



Timisoara is pleased to now more than ever, about one of his nickname

- "City of Roses and parks."

As an emerging and thriving economic center, Timisoara recognized

early that a city needs a green oasis. It has already been forseen at that

time that a city must not only score points by means of growing

industry and trade, but also by its beauty. And what makes a city more

beautiful and colorful than parks and flower gardens. The first park of

the city was established in 1862, in the years after, more parks were

established. The polulation liked the so called "Green Forest" (Padurea

Verde) wich goes back to 1732. Since 1955 the park is used by many

of the inhabitants a place of rest and relaxation (737 acres).

Today, the "Central" Park (1870), the People's Park (1862) with theformer Apollo Cinema, the Botanic Park, the Cathedral Park and of

course the Rose Park (Parcul Rozelor), are among the most liked parks

in Timisoara.

The Rose Park is one of the landmarks of the city and is a popular

resort with locals. The Austrian Emperor Franz Josef already praised

the park on the occasion of a visit to

Timisoara. In the park there is the

largest open-air stage, a great venue for

summer festivals and concerts.

The preference of Timisoara's residents for roses and parks is not new.

This love is gradually grown as the city developed into a modern city. In

Timisoara constantly roses and many other kinds of flowers were

planted, parks and green ways were created, so that the city can

proudly wear the nickname - City of Roses and parks.

THE PARKS2



BRATIANU PARK

This park was named after the former Prime Minister Ion. I.-C.

Bratiano. This park is adjacent to the City Park, which is located

next to the Hotel Continental.

The landmark of the City Park is the so-called "Big Floral Clock".

CATHEDRAL PARK

The Cathedral Park is located between the Orthodox Cathedral of

the Holy Three Hierarchs and the Bega Channel.

The park is bounded by the Bulevardul Regele Ferdinand, the

Bega Channel and the Bulevardul 16 Decembrie 1989.

THE PEOPLE’S PARK

Parcul Poporului (People's Park) on the right side of the Bega

Channel in Fabric exists since 1862 and since has carried several

names like Varosliget, Parcul Coronini, Parcul Oraşului, Parcul

Regina Maria, Parcul Fabric and Parcul Tineretului.

In the park is the former Apollo Cinema, which was originally built in

1909 by architect Josef Ecker Jr., and reconstructed in 1955 by

architect Paul Schuster.

CENTRAL PARK

The Central Park was established in 1870 on the site of the old

city cemetery (1749-1771). A year later, the city citizens donated

a monument for the founder of the park and named the park

Parcul Scudier. During the socialist era, the park was called

Parcul I.V. Stalin. In the middle of the park is the monument of

the fallen Romanian soldiers in World War II. This monument was

inaugurated in 1962. The park is located west of the Romanian

Orthodox Cathedral. Since 3. August 2009 the Aleea

Personalităţilor (Avenue of personalities) displays historical people

of the Timisoaran history.

many names: Parcul Trandafirilor, Parcul şi deCultura Odihnă, Parcul şi de Cultura Odihnă

"Ştefan Plăvăţ" and Parcul de Cultura. In both

SUMMER THEATRE

Surrounded by thousands of flowers is a

large open-air theater, which is used in the

warm season for many cultural events. The

summer theater is one of the most important

cultural venues of the city. Here is also the

annual feast of the hearts (Festivalul Inimilor)

held.

trees and shrubs, 11,000 m² of lawns, 77

benches and 12 pergolas. The park is

watered by a computerized irrigation system.

Timisoara's nicknames is "City of Roses"

THE VILLAGE MUSEUM4



THE VILLAGE MUSEUM

The Banat Village Museum is Romania's only ethnographic exhibition,

which displays all elements of a village, such as town hall, church,

school, community center and guest house.

The area covers 17 acres. Shown are 52 houses and farms and an im-

pressive collection of typical everyday objects such as furniture,

clothes, fabrics, carpets, appliances, tools and manual work.

The initiative for the establishment of the impressive and expansive mu-

seum goes back to the art historian and church restorer Ioachim Miloia.

In the courtyard of the Banat Museum he started in 1928 to build up

the first churches, farmhouses and wooden crosses. The museum was

opened in 1971 at its current location, the "Hunting Forest".

As part of the modernization of the Village Museum, the lighting and

the walkways were started to be renewed in 2012. The open-air stage,

on which always on Sundays in the summer folklore and dance events

take place, will also be modernized.

The Banat Village Museum is one of the places you "must" take a look

during a visit to Timisoara. Reach the museum by bus 45 (from Bas-

tion).

AT THE END SOURCES



When we visited Timisoara (Volume 1) the

first time, it was clear: we need to come

back. The rose blooms and the many

parks have led to Timisoara's nickname

"City of Roses". Of particular note is the

impressive village museum, which is

located in the grounds of the hunting

forest.

During this visit, it is hard to emphasize

what we liked most: the stunning view of

the square in front of the Opera Housefrom our balcony at the Hotel Timisoara,

the fragrant rose garden, the green and

tranquil parks in the city, the spacious and

originally decorated Village Museum, or

the recovery factor at the Hotel Lido, by

which we were able to complete the

journey.

To all the friends and companies thatcontributed to the production of this

book: thank you very much.
