Timișoara Fortress (Latin: Castrum Temesiensis, Castrum Temesvariensis, Hungarian: Temesvári vár, Turkish: Temeşvar Kalesi, German: Festung Temeswar, Romanian: Cetatea Timișoara) is a historical fortress in western Romania around which the town of Timișoara was built. The increased effectiveness of artillery with explosive shells at the end of the 19th century rendered the walls ineffective. As the walls and the area around them (the non-aedificandi area) hindered the development of the town, the walls were demolished and the ditches were filled in.

  • Fortalesa de Timișoara (en llatí: Castrum Temesiensis, Castrum Temesvariensis, en hongarès: Temesvári vár, en turc: Temeşvar Kalesi, alemany: Festung Temeswar, en romanès: Cetatea Timișoara) és una fortalesa històrica a l'oest de Romania al voltant de la qual es va construir la ciutat de Timișoara. Es presumeix que hi va haver una fortificació de terres anterior construïda pels àvars, però el primer registre escrit és del segle XIII. A principis del segle XIV Carles I construí la primera fortificació de pedra, la fortalesa angevina. El 1443 Joan Hunyadi restaurà el castell i les muralles circumdants, que havien estat destruïdes per un terratrèmol. La fortalesa va ser capturada el 1552 pels turcs otomans, que la van mantenir fins al 1716 quan va ser presa pels Habsburg. Els Habsburg la van reconstruir, fent-la molt més gran a l'estil de , precursor del sistema Vauban. La fortalesa dels Habsburg va ser assetjada només una vegada, durant la Revolució Hongaresa del 1849. l'augment de l'eficàcia de l'artilleria amb petxines explosives a finals del segle XIX va fer que les parets fossin ineficaços. Com que les muralles i els voltants (la zona no aedificandi) van dificultar el desenvolupament de la ciutat, es van enderrocar les muralles i es van omplir les cunetes. A principis del segle XXI, les úniques restes de la fortalesa dels Habsburg són el castell de Huniade, un bastió – el bastió de Theresia, un important atractiu turístic – , una casamata del revellí de la Porta de Viena, una part del baluard Eugeniu i una petita part del mur cortina entre els baluards Eugeniu i Elisabetha. Tots aquests vestigis formen el monument històric "Fortalesa de Timișoara". (ca)
  • Timișoara Fortress (Latin: Castrum Temesiensis, Castrum Temesvariensis, Hungarian: Temesvári vár, Turkish: Temeşvar Kalesi, German: Festung Temeswar, Romanian: Cetatea Timișoara) is a historical fortress in western Romania around which the town of Timișoara was built. It is presumed that there was an earlier earthworks fortification built by the Avars, but the first written record is from the 13th century. At the beginning of the 14th century Charles I of Hungary built the first stone fortification, the Angevin fortress. In 1443 John Hunyadi restored the castle and the surrounding walls, which had been destroyed by an earthquake. The fortress was captured in 1552 by the Ottoman Turks, who held it till 1716 when it was taken by the Habsburgs. The Habsburgs reconstructed it, making it much bigger in the style of Blaise Francois Pagan, a precursor of the Vauban system. The Habsburg fortress was besieged only once, during the Hungarian Revolution in 1849. The increased effectiveness of artillery with explosive shells at the end of the 19th century rendered the walls ineffective. As the walls and the area around them (the non-aedificandi area) hindered the development of the town, the walls were demolished and the ditches were filled in. At the beginning of the 21st century the only remains of the Habsburg fortress are the Huniade Castle, one bastion – the Theresia Bastion, an important tourist attraction – a casemate of the ravelin of the Vienna Gate, a portion of the Eugeniu bastion and a small part of the curtain wall between the Eugeniu and Elisabetha bastions. All these vestiges form the historic monument "Timișoara Fortress". (en)
