Elisabetin (Hungarian: Erzsébetváros; German: Elisabethstadt)[2] is a historic district of Timișoara. It is noted for the vast reserve of 1900s-style architecture and the multitude of parks.[3] Also here is the university area of the city with the related buildings (student dormitories, canteens, laboratories, sports complexes, etc.), many of which have historical value.[4]
