Biography
View old mayors

Timișoara is the biggest city in western Romania. It was first mentioned in the historic records at the start of the 13th century and has changed hands between the Hungarian, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires until coming under Romanian control at the start of the 20th century. This colourful history contributes to the city’s current ethnic and multicultural background.

In 1848, Timișoara became the first city in Europe to use electricity to light up its streets and was the jumping-off point to the revolutionary movement that overthrew the Romanian Communist Dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu in 1989.

Timișoara will also hold the title of European Capital of Culture in 2023.
