45°43′57″N 21°13′57″E / 45.7324563°N 21.2325202°E / 45.7324563; 21.2325202 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 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]

Transport

Public transport consists of permanent connections with the city center (lines 15, E2 and E3) and other neighboring districts (lines 7 and 9).
