              The turmoil of time has endowed Timiş with a multicultural character that
              made its fame far beyond Romanian borders. Yesterday's conquests have
              become today's ethnical communities that nowadays live in harmony.
              This  is  because  every  Timiş county  inhabitant  sees  the  Germans,

              Hungarians, Serbs, Bulgarians, Italians or Greeks as fellow Banat citizens.
              We are all part of the same LANDMARK we call „home”.


              It's  a  home  that  nourishes  our  people  through  over  twelve  cultural
              institutions with three independent theaters. All of them use the minorities'
              three  major  languages,  while  the  activity  of  seventeen  general  and
              honorary consulates is consolidating our connections with partner states.


              Green is the color that feeds our sight when we are in Timişoara, walking
              along the bank of Bega river and around its leafy treetops oasis. As we step
              out of our numerous parks' shadows, we realize that the city is nowadays
              spoiled during every weekend with a rainbow of traditional music, arts and
              culture.  It's  a  bouquet  of  colors  that  vibrate  as  the  capital  of  Banat
              prepares itself for a new history page, a page that shall be written in the
              European context of Capitals of Culture in 2023.
