Fabric District & Traian Square
Fabric
An old industrial district of Art Nouveau buildings, including the Millennium Church, the Fabric Synagogue and Traian Square, which is undergoing renovation.
The Fabric District lies on the east side of the old town. In the 19th century, factories and the Bega Canal brought growth here, and the area was home to Hungarian, German, Jewish and Serbian residents. Around Traian Square stand faded but ornate Art Nouveau buildings. To the north is the Millennium Church, a Neo-Romanesque Catholic church, and nearby is the Fabric Synagogue, built in the Moorish style. The Timișoara Brewery, founded in 1718, is also in this area. It suits visitors who enjoy architecture and city atmosphere; allow half a day for a walk, or take a tram or walk about 25 minutes from the city centre.
