Urban site "Fabric", Historic district near central Timișoara, Romania.

Fabric extends through the central-eastern section of Timișoara as a district blending industrial and residential buildings from different time periods. The preserved structures show how the area developed from small workshops into a larger manufacturing zone.

The district originated in 1744 when authorities approved construction of the first manufacturing facilities in this area. Over the following century, it grew steadily into a significant center for production and craftsmanship.

Multiple communities including Romanians, Serbs, Germans, and Italians worked side by side in workshops and factories throughout the district. The mix of building styles visible today reflects this shared history of coexistence.

The area is accessible by tram and you can walk through the streets to view the preserved buildings and their architectural features. Planning several hours allows you to explore at a comfortable pace and notice the different styles throughout the district.

The district contains Romania's oldest brewery, founded during the Habsburg era and still producing beer in its original location today. This building represents a rare example of an industrial site that has kept its original purpose for over two centuries.
