Baroque Palace, Timișoara, 18th-century palace in Union Square, Romania.
The Baroque Palace in Timișoara is a two-story structure defined by decorative pillars and a mansard roof, framed by two entrance gates with Viennese style. The building displays typical features of 18th-century Baroque architecture with elaborate details across its facades.
The building was first constructed in 1734 as a Mining Office for the region. Within two decades it was expanded with administrative offices, reinforcing its role as a center of local authority.
The palace has long served as a gathering place for music and the arts in the city. Visitors and artists from across Europe came here, making it a significant center for cultural life.
The palace now houses the city's art museum with artworks by European artists from different periods and regions. Visitors can explore the art collections displayed throughout the historic building.
An architect from the late 1800s significantly altered the palace facade and removed many original Baroque features. This means the building looks quite different from its original 18th-century design today.
