The artesian well in downtown Timisoara is not a historical monument. It was built in 1957 and quickly became a symbol of the city. Originally, it was shaped like a star with five corners, topped with bronze fish. Since then, the shape of the basin has changed several times. The last renovation of the Fish Fountain was undertaken in the 1980s.

The Dauerbach Palace (Romanian: Palatul Dauerbach), also known as the Palace, is a three-story listed building located on Piața Victoriei in the western Romanian city of Timișoara.

The palace was built between 1911 and 1913 as a residence for Georg Dauerbach, designed by László Székely. The impressive building has a tall, dark facade in an eclectic style with elements of Baroque and Art Nouveau (Vienna Secession) features contrasting ceramic work and dominates the row of buildings.

In 1957, this artisanal fountain, known as the Fish Fountain, was built in Victoriei Square, and soon became the favorite place of photographers, young people and the elderly. It is an oasis of relaxation of the square, invigorating the atmosphere created by the monumental buildings around. welcometoromania.ro/Timisoara/Timisoara_Fantana_cu_pesti_r.htm
