WATERCOLORS BOOK

             Timisoara is not a city, it is a mental state that has lasted for centuries. It is a state of being created by its Romanian, German, Hungarian, Jewish, Serbian, Bulgarian, Czech inhabitants through tolerance and mutual respect.
              It is a mental state which allowed the initiative of some advanced (ambitious) projects determining the social and economic development of this community.
              Those who came here have soon embraced this mental state and those who left this place still carry on the spirit of Timisoara. We offer you, the ones who don’t know it, the opportunity to discover Timisoara and to you, the ones who do know it, we try to remind you of its beauty.
