Timișoara Fortress, Medieval fortification in Timișoara, Romania.
The fortress encompasses several defensive structures, including Huniade Castle, Theresia Bastion, and sections of original curtain walls spanning across central Timișoara.
Built in 1308 by Charles I of Hungary, the fortress remained under Ottoman control from 1552 to 1716 before Habsburg forces captured and reconstructed it.
The fortress grounds feature architectural elements from multiple periods, displaying Hungarian, Ottoman, and Habsburg military construction techniques through its remaining structures.
Visitors can explore the preserved sections of the fortress by following marked paths that connect various historical structures throughout central Timișoara.
The fortress underwent only one siege throughout its military history, during the Hungarian Revolution of 1849, despite its strategic location on routes to central Europe.
