Timisoara - European capital of culture: The Memorial of the Revolution in Timișoara

The investment objective is to commemorate the events of December 1989 and to ensure that the lessons of history are not forgotten. Situated in the heart of Timisoara this memorial stands as a solemn tribute to those who lost their lives fighting for freedom and democracy. 

People who sacrificed in December 1989 for ideals such as freedom and human dignity are models of civic conduct. 

Their sacrifice is the foundation of today’s Romania, a state based on the rule of law, where dignity, citizens’ rights and freedoms, political pluralism, and the right to vote are supreme values. 

The memorial aims to bring the events of 1989 into the public space, from the perspective of the Revolution. The project envisages nine intervention areas : Saint Mary’s Square (2 points), Traian Bridge, Opera Square (2 points), Liberty Square, Saint George’s Square, CJT Prefecture (2 points), Neptun Baths, Heroes’ Cemetery, Martyrs’ Way.
