Southeastern Transylvania may have been the hardest area hit by the Great Plague of 1738.
The plague from 1738 to 1746 will kill a sixth of the population of Timişoara.
Timişoara's Monument of the Holy Trinity in Piaţa Unirii is dedicated to the plague's victims.
Although no exact figure is available, the epidemic likely kills over fifty thousand people in southeastern Europe.
