Girocului

Girocului is a district in southern Timișoara. It was built between 1970 and 1985, as a consequence of the urban systematization carried out by the Communist Party, which aimed at increasing the population of Timișoara.[1] Its name comes from the village (Giroc) to which the road that crosses it is heading.[1] In fact, as a result of the urban development over the past two decades, Giroc has virtually become a suburb of Timișoara.[2]
