Ghizela (Hungarian: Gizellafalva; German: Giseladorf) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania.

[6] It was said that the inhabitants, Romanians, would have resettled here during the reign of Queen Marie, the Orthodox parish being established in 1770.

After the conquest of Banat by the Austrians, at the first census made by the Habsburg authorities in 1717, the locality appears recorded with 20 houses, it is called Bangeva and belongs to the Făget District.

In 1896, colonizations were made with Roman Catholic Germans,[5] but in a smaller proportion than in other localities in Banat, the majority Romanian character remaining unchanged.

According to historian Coriolan Suciu, the first recorded mention of Șanovița dates from 1359, in a document where it appears with the name of Sasanfalva ("Sasan's village").

[7] Historian Nicolae Ilieșiu [ro] considers that the village dates back to the Turkish period.
