Parța

Parța (Hungarian: Parác; German: Paratz; Serbian: Парац, romanized: Parac) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania.

[2] At the conscription (census) carried out in 1717 by the Austrians, after the conquest of Banat, the settlement had 84 houses and was called Paraz.

[2] In 1878, during the regularization of the Timiș River, traces of a Neolithic settlement on three levels were discovered here, in which pottery specific to the Vinča culture was found.

[5] Over the course of five decades, the following have been discovered here: two Neolithic sanctuaries, one with monumental statues, relocated and restored in Timișoara's National Museum of Banat, another overlapping the first one from which only one altar has been preserved, household shrines or altars, about 150 houses and complexes and four dwellings with 4–5 rooms, some of which have a suspended floor or an upper floor.

Most inhabitants were Romanians (80.43%), larger minorities being represented by Hungarians (5.94%), Roma (4.65%), Serbs (2.03%), and Germans (1.98%).
