The Hydroelectric Power Station - Video
Description:

The hydropower building is a unique element in the landscape of industrial architecture in Timișoara. It was designed by one of the city's leading architects, László Székely, in the Secession style. It is an ensemble classified as a historical monument, and consists of an elevated body, resembling a tower, a building on the left bank of the Bega, and a building that stretches above the water. Behind the ensemble where the accumulation lake was arranged, Baia and Plaja Populară functioned for almost 50 years.
