Girocului
Girocului, also known as Martirilor, is a district in southern Timișoara. It was built between 1970 and 1985, as a consequence of the urban systematization carried out by the Romanian [Communist Party|Communist Party], which aimed at increasing the population of Timișoara. Its name comes from the village to which the road that crosses it is heading. In fact, as a result of the urban development over the past two decades, Giroc has virtually become a suburb of Timișoara.
