Non-Euclidean Space
The first indication of the city's name is from a record in 1177 describing a "Castrensis de thymes" located in the area, based on the name of the river flowing around it; the Hungarian name Temesvár means "castle (vár) near the river Timiş (Temes)." The city was probably fortified with wooden walls before this time. In 1241 the city was destroyed during the Mongol invasion of Hungary and Poland, but the walls were rebuilt.
