Făget (Romanian pronunciation: [fəˈdʒet]; Hungarian: Facsád; German: Birkendorf or Fatschet) is a town in Timiș County, Romania, with a population of about 6,600.

[6] For 150 years it has been the subject of fierce confrontations between Romanians, Turks and Austrians, which is also confirmed by archaeological excavations.

The picturesque landscape of Făget, the intense spiritual activity and its famous fairs attracted the attention of some foreign travelers who passed through Transylvania and Banat.

In 1660, Turkish traveler Evliya Çelebi, passing through Făget, described the medieval fortress:[7] It was built by a woman named Tilen...

It is just a serhat tower.Along with the military fortress, the civilian settlement also evolved, becoming in a relatively short period of time the most important locality in the area.

Immediately after Banat was conquered by the Austrians in 1717, Făget had only 20 houses left, but it was the center of a district with 42 communes.

The travelers are well served, but a very expensive price.On the same note, Italian traveler Domenico Sestini [it] noted that, at the beginning of the 19th century, Făget had "200 Romanian houses with two churches and over 30 German houses with a small but clean church, served by the Minorite monks from Lugoj".
