A bishop finally returned to the Bishops’ Bridge. ✨

Built in 1913, the bridge was originally designed to feature four bishops of the former Diocese of Cenad and later Timișoara: Saint Gerhard/Gellért (the first bishop of the Diocese of Cenad, established 1030), Lonovics József, Dessewffy Sándor and Kőszeghy László. World War One and the fall of empires and monarchies had other plans, and the sculptures never made it to Timișoara from Budapest where they had initially been commissioned.

More than a century later, contemporary artist Aurelian Scorobete brings Saint Gerhard back to the bridge — as part of Regatta Bega / Timișoara Port Cultural.

History meets contemporary art, right above the Bega. 💫

Sâmbătă avem tur din turnul de apă, courtesy of Ecluze pe Bega. Link pentru înscrieri în comentariile din postarea colegilor. Locuri limitate. Get them while they're hot 💧

𝐒𝐚̂𝐦𝐛𝐚̆𝐭𝐚̆ 𝐝𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐭̗𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐦 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐥 𝐚 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐚̆ 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭̗𝐢𝐞𝐢 𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐬̗𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐬̗𝐢 𝐚𝐩𝐚̆.💧

Pe 19 septembrie vă invităm la două tururi ghidate organizate în două locuri pe lângă care trecem des, însă în care ajungem mult mai rar să intrăm.

De la 10:00 mergem în Turnul de Apă din Iosefin, redeschis în această vară după restaurare. Alături de Alexandra Irimia (Timisoara Tour Guide) și echipa Ecluze pe Bega vom urca prin interiorul turnului, pe lângă rezervoarele originale păstrate, până la platforma de belvedere. De acolo se vede Iosefinul, orașul și, bineînțeles, Bega. Turnul a fost construit în 1914 și făcea parte din sistemul modern de alimentare cu apă al Timișoarei de la începutul secolului XX.

La 12:00 continuăm pe mal la Centrala Hidroelectrică denumită popular de timișoreni „Turbine”. Intrăm în clădirea proiectată de László Székely, în sala turbinelor și vedem de aproape instalațiile care au produs energie pentru oraș timp de mai bine de un secol. Centrala a fost pusă în funcțiune în 1910, păstrând printre instalațiile originale turbinele Francis Triple realizate de Ganz Danubius Budapesta.

Două locuri foarte diferite, legate de aceeași poveste a Timișoarei care a învățat să folosească apa și să construiască în jurul ei. Ambele tururi sunt gratuite, pe bază de înscriere, în limita locurilor disponibile. Lăsăm linkurile de înscriere în comentarii. 🌊

Tururile fac parte din programul Regata Bega #4.

Deal or no deal? This year's highlight for me was being on the set of this show (Batem palma? in Romanian) alongside so many lovely people and their amazing life stories. Truly an inspiration and a way of exploring new interests and boundaries for me. If only I had realized earlier that showbiz was the way to go for me 🤩 To be resumed...in the meantime you can watch me Mon-Fri on ProTv and Voyo at 6pm for witty banter and attempted funny comments 😆

23 de ediții. O lună întreagă. O provocare continuă. Fiți alături de mine până pe 1 octombrie ca să vedem dacă...Batem palma? 😉

Ready to face your fears? A place that's been closed for ages is opening its doors to the community tomorrow.

Climb through the narrow staircases of Timișoara's 1914 water tower, step inside its historic water chambers, and, if you're brave enough, walk across a glass platform high above the city.

Tomorrow marks the grand opening of this extraordinary new vertical cultural venue, and Heritage of Timișoara and yours truly will be leading 5 guided tours throughout the day (via previous registration).

History. Architecture. Adrenaline.

Who's coming?

Din misterele podurilor. În cazul de față cel al Palatului Ancora (Kudelich-Sailer) (Horgony-palota, das Anker Palast)și al domnului cu taler beret din medalionului care astfel, prin grija artiștilor locali și a pasionaților de istorie și arhitectura capătă o nouă viață. Mulțumim . Pentru mine, life-long-learning, cm îi stă bine unul ghid. Lucru manual, cm îi stă bine unui creier obosit. Good drinks and lovely company, pentru că adultul din mine merită.

For more than a century, Casa Mühle has quietly witnessed the story of Timișoara. 🌹

What began as the home of Wilhelm Mühle — renowned florist, horticulturist, and imperial flower provider — later became the residence of his son, Árpád Mühle, celebrated landscape architect and creator of some of the rose varieties that reached royal courts across Europe. Around this house once stretched the family’s famous gardens and plant nursery, a sea of flowers that helped shape the identity of Timișoara as the “City of Roses.”

But the legacy of the Mühle family goes far beyond floriculture.

The land on which today’s Universitatea Politehnica Timișoara campus stands was once part of the Mühle family gardens — land donated by the family so that Timișoara could have its very first university.

After decades of glory, decline, abandonment, and uncertainty, Casa Mühle has now entered a new chapter. Purchased by UPT (it seemed only natural that it should) and temporarily reopened to the public last Saturday, the house is once again becoming a place for the community: a meeting point between heritage, education, culture, and memory.

A house that once helped Timișoara bloom is now opening its doors once again — not just as a restored building, but as a bridge between the city’s past and future. 🌿

P.S. Fingers crossed that the clone of the Hans Molisch (one of the Mühle rose species) makes it and we get to enjoy it once again in Timișoara.
