The bastion is included on the list of historical monuments in Timiș County with LMI code TM-II-m-A-06103.03.

[2] After the conquest in October 1716 of the Timișoara Fortress by the Habsburg army under the command of Eugene of Savoy, it was found that the Turkish fortifications could not cope with the new fighting techniques.

[6] It was later incorporated into the fortification wall, and in 1744 it was renamed the Theresia Bastion, in honor of Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria.

The restoration project was developed by Archaeus in 2004–2009 under the coordination of the architect Marius Miclăuș, and the contractor was the consortium Bennert GmbH/Prowa Contracting and Consulting GmbH.

[16] The brick arches in the bastion's flanks and retreat were converted into porticos by inserting timber frames.

The mounds of earth above the flanks and retreat, which formed breastworks and where firing barbettes were set up, were also removed.

It is currently located almost in the center of the city, lying between the 1989 Revolution Boulevard, Martin Luther Street, Ion I.C.

[5] The bastion consists of two flanks, the northern and the southern, about 142 m (75 fathom) long, which form an acute angle of 72° to the east.

To the west, the bastion is closed by a one-story building, which was used as a storehouse for food (proviant) and a powder room.
