Turkish House, Timisoara

The building located in the Elisabetin district, is a monument built around the 16th and 17th centuries, according to some sources. The house has three levels: the ground floor, first floor and cellar roofed with a flattened cylindrical arch. The Turkish House has an ambiguous history; some say it used to be the summer residence of Timisoara’s Pasha, others say it was a harem or even that there was a secret tunnel between the home and fortress.
