Queen Marie Park, Timișoara

[2] The park is located in Fabric district, between Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi Street, Dniester Way, Episcop Joseph Lonovici Street and 3 August 1919 Boulevard.

It has an area of 45,100 m2, of which 37,400 m2 represent lawn and trees, and 5,300 m2 are alleys, the rest being other spaces.

[3] Between 1849 and 1861, part of the non aedificandi belt between Cetate and Fabric was transformed at the initiative of Johann Baptist Coronini-Cronberg, the military governor of the Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar, into a park organized on a 7-jugerum (~ 2-ha) land.

[4] It was the first landscaping on a part of the so-called esplanade that surrounded the fortress, where no interventions had been allowed until then.

[5] In 1857, the First Savings House of Timișoara (Erste Temeswarer Sparkassa) contributed 200 forints to the realization of the initial project.
