Another sublime public space Piaţa Victoriei is a long, pedestrianised square where many of Timișoara’s cultural amenities are set.
The square is injected with a sense of spectacle by two epic monuments, the 90-metre Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral on the southern end and the Romanian Opera House in the north.
Between them is a narrow line of flowerbeds, a fountain from 1957, low hedges and tree-shaded restaurant terraces in a ravine of tall Secessionist and Neoclassical facades.
