Liberty Square (Romanian: Piața Libertății), formerly known as Parade Square (Romanian: Piața de Paradă) or Prince Eugene Square (Romanian: Piața Prințul Eugen), is an urban square in Timișoara. It is the second-oldest square of the former fortress of Timișoara. It got its current name during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848–1849 when Timișoara withstood a siege by Hungarian revolutionaries. Liberty Square houses some of the oldest buildings in Timișoara: the Garrison Command, the former Chancellery of War, the Old City Hall and the Military Casino.
