From 1848 to 1860, Timișoara served as the capital of the Serbian Vojvodina and the Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar. Today, this multicultural city on the Bega River is western Romania’s main economic, social and cultural centre and the informal capital of historic Banat. Around 21 ethnic groups and 18 religious denominations call it home, with Swabian Germans, Jews and Hungarians among its historic communities.
