Girocului, also known as Martirilor, is a district in southern Timișoara.
It was built between 1970 and 1985, as a consequence of the urban systematization carried out by the Communist Party, which aimed at increasing the population of Timișoara.
[1] Its name comes from the village (Giroc) to which the road that crosses it is heading.
