Take Ionescu Boulevard
Take Ionescu Boulevard is a boulevard in Timișoara, Romania. One of the busiest boulevards in the city, Take Ionescu Boulevard forms part of Timișoara's second urban ring, a vital corridor that slices through roughly a quarter of the city, including key areas such as Badea Cârțan Market and Trajan Square. Along the boulevard are located the Timiș County Police Inspectorate, as well as the ISHO edge city, built on the site of the former ILSA wool processing factory.
At the eastern end of Take Ionescu Boulevard is situated Ion I. C. Brătianu Square, one of Timișoara's principal roundabouts. Dominating the square is the Fountain of Cardinal Points, an iconic landmark constructed in 1978, notable for its prominent directional markers. In close proximity, the remnants of the Theresia Bastion and the Dicasterial Palace contribute additional historical and institutional value to the surrounding urban landscape.
