Mărăști Square
Timișoara, Romania
Mărăști Square (Piața Mărăști) is a public square in Timișoara, Romania. The square is essentially a roundabout featuring a 19th-century map of the Timișoara Fortress, artistically laid out in roses and grass at its center. It stands on the former site of the Vienna Gate—the most prominent and ornately decorated entrance to the fortress. Today, the area is surrounded by communist-era apartment blocks, the now-dilapidated Vienna Barracks, the New Clinics, and various eclectic or historicist buildings in differing stages of restoration. The square is named after the Battle of Mărăști, one of the key battles fought on Romanian soil during World War I.
