The three recently opened spaces are part of the old fortress of Timișoara, the Bastion Maria Theresia offers, through its three galleries, the ideal space for organizing various events. The Bastion's courtyard is also used as a passageway, and it also houses commercial spaces, restaurants, bars, a club and an events hall, making it a suitable place for events and small open-air festivals.
Built between 1730-1735, originally called the Proviant Depot Ravelin, the Maria Theresia Bastion earned its name around 1744-1745 as a tribute to the queen. It was intended for food storage. In 1716, after the Habsburg conquest of Timișoara, the Timișoara Fortress was entirely rebuilt in the Vauban style between 1723 and 1765, increasing its surface area tenfold.
