Union Square
Piața Unirii
The most beautiful Baroque square in the old town, surrounded by a Catholic cathedral, a Serbian Orthodox church and Baroque palaces.
Union Square is the oldest square in Timișoara, laid out in the 18th century when the Habsburg dynasty rebuilt the city. On the east side stands the Roman Catholic St. George Cathedral. On the west side are the Serbian Orthodox church and bishop’s residence. On the south side, a Baroque palace now houses an art museum. In the center stands the Holy Trinity Plague Column, dating from the 1740s. Nearby are colorful Art Nouveau buildings, including the Brukenthal House. The square is pedestrian-only and has many open-air cafés, making it a great place to enjoy coffee and admire the architecture. It is about an 8-minute walk from Victory Square.
