Pleven Square (Romanian: Piața Plevnei) is a square located in the Elisabetin district of Timișoara, Romania. It is part of the urban site Old Iosefin, classified as a historic monument.[2]
The area has been landscaped and the surrounding buildings have been built since 1903. Initially it was called Dózsa tér, and from 1919 Pleven Square. The square, rectangular in shape, borders on the north with General Henri Berthelot Street (former Caraiman Street), and on the south with Mitropolit Ioan Mețianu Street (former Brașov Street). In the middle of the square lies the Gheorghe Doja Park. Around the park the buildings are exclusively residential, in Art Nouveau style, forming a homogeneous architectural ensemble.[3]
