Blașcovici Explained

45.7556°N 21.1986°WBlașcovici (deprecated: Colonia Blascovici; Hungarian: Blaskovitstelep;[1] German: Blaskowitsch Kolonie)[2] is a district of Timișoara.[3] At the beginning of the 20th century, Blașcovici was a colony of Mehala.[4] Before that, a wealthy family of Roman Catholic canons, the Blaskovits, lived here.[5] It is said that they had a house somewhere near the former headquarters of the Traffic Police, from where, so far as Ronaț, the garden of their estate stretched. The parcelling of the area began around 1900; the first streets in the district appeared on the place of the former garden.[6]
