Huniade Castle, Medieval castle in Timișoara, Romania.
The castle features massive stone walls, cylindrical corner towers, and a quadrilateral inner courtyard that reflects its medieval architectural origins.
Italian architect Paolo Santini de Duccio constructed the castle between 1443 and 1447 under John Hunyadi's direction, replacing an earlier structure from 1315.
The National Museum of Banat within the castle displays regional artifacts, historical collections, and scientific exhibitions documenting the area's development.
Visitors can explore the castle's exhibition halls during regular museum hours, with guided tours available in multiple languages through prior arrangement.
Two decorative lanterns stand in front of the castle, marking Timișoara's distinction as the first European city with electric street lighting in 1884.
