[2] Liberty Square houses some of the oldest buildings in Timișoara: the Garrison Command, the former Chancellery of War, the Old City Hall and the Military Casino.

[5] On its current location, in the Middle Ages there was a free space of triangular shape, a crossroads for three trade routes from the north, northeast and south, around which the first settlement of Timișoara was identified.

[6] The current square appeared as a result of the complete reconstruction of the city on a new, rectangular street plot, designed in the second decade of the 18th century.

Then it was decided to widen the square to the west, so as to reach the current dimensions of 103 × 99 m.[8] On the western side, in 1746–1747, the former Silahdar Mosque was still standing; it was later demolished.

[8] In 2015, Liberty Square was completely transformed within a rehabilitation project of the Cetate district, being paved with red brick in concentric circles.
