Union Square in Iași vs. Union Square in Timișoara (4,533 km)

(2023-06-18/19) Six stages earlier, we were still together in Iași, looking at Union Square, which was designec by Gheorghe Hussar, one of my 3rd cousins, in the 1960s. Fortunately he kept his hands off the Union Square in Timișoara. Thus, the square was able to survive the centuries and today presents itself in new splendor with its baroque churches and palaces. As European Capital of Culture 2023, Timișoara has spruced itself up. During the Romanian Revolution of 1989, Piața Victoriei [Victory Square] was the central scene of the mass demonstrations that ultimately led to the overthrow of Nicolae Ceaușescu. From the individual platforms of the vertical Tree Nursery with its 1306 different plants for Timișoara we get the right view. All in all, the score is now 0:2 for Timișoara, and that after just one single day!
