Unirii Square (translated as the “Union Square”) is one of the biggest and most beautiful squares in Timisoara. Throughout its history, the square has had many names: it was once called Hauptplatz (main square), Domplatz (Dom square) or Losonczy square.Today we know it as Unirii Square. It received this name in 1919, after World War I and after the Banat region became a part of the now “complete” Romanian country. The square is said to be the place where the Romanian army stopped when they came to Timisoara. The square's history is much longer. Timisoara was freed from the Ottoman Empire in 1716, thanks to the troops of Prince Eugene of Savoy, of the Habsburg Empire. During the fight with the Ottomans, most of the city was destroyed. As the city had to be rebuilt, a new construction plan was created. What we know as Unirii Square today started being shaped back then. The buildings in the area were meant to serve administrative functions and the square itself has served as an agricultural market for a very long time. Most of the buildings in the square have been restored and reshaped several times; some building were added an extra floor, other were demolished, new ones were rebuilt. Over time, Unirii Square became the most beautiful square in Timisoara. It has some if the city's most imposing buildings timisoaratourism.com/travel-tips/unirii-square-timisoara-history-architecture

Freedom Square (initially Paradeplatz, "Parade Square", then Prinz Eugen Platz, "Prince Eugene Square") is a historic square in Timisoara. In 1848, with the outbreak of the Hungarian revolution, the name of the square changed to Liberty Square. After the Austrian army recaptured the city, the square was renamed Prince Eugene Square. The square is also colloquially referred to as the "Old City Hall Square". The building was built in Baroque style between 1731-1734.
Located in the center of Liberty Square, St. Mary's Statue is the work of two Viennese sculptors, Blim and Wasserburger. On the three sides of the monument are depicted scenes from the last period of the life of St. John Nepomuk. In its center is St. Nepomuk and in the upper part is St. Mary with a crown of stars around her head and holding lily flowers, the symbol of purity. ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pia%C8%9Ba_Libert%C4%83%C8%9Bii_din_Timi%C8%99oara
