As far as history takes us
The first attestations of bridges in the Timisoara Fortress, date from the XIVth century, when Charles Robert of Anjou built a fort with several bridges. During the Turkish occupation, the fortress was surrounded by walls that had five gates with moving bridges, which locals have burned when they were attacked by Prince Eugen of Savoy.
On a map of the city picturing Begheiului bridges across arms and over marshes from 1716, the longest bridge has 500 hinders. During the Austrian occupation, numerous bridges were raised. They were made by wood, brick or stone.
