Timisoara was established in the 13th century in the Hungarian Kingdom. This is the historical capital of Banat Region, part of the Pannonia plain. It was the first mainland European city to be lit by electric street lamps in 1884. It was also the second European city with horse drawn trams in 1867. The Romanian christmas revolution in 1989 started here.
