History
One of Temesvár's oldest market squares is St George's Square, which has played an important role within the former town fortifications since the Middle Ages. Here stood one of the oldest churches in Temesvár, the Church of St George, which was demolished in 1739. A sculpture by Silvia Radu was erected in the square in 1996. It commemorates the children murdered during the revolutionary events in the city in December 1989. The first names and ages of the 10 child heroes are inscribed on the back of the pedestal.
