The siege of Temeşvar took place from 31 August to 12 October 1716 during the Austro-Turkish War of 1716-1718, to liberate the last regions of Ottoman-occupied Hungary. The Habsburg army led by Prince Eugene of Savoy, who had just won a crushing victory at Petrovaradin, managed to capture the Ottoman fortress of Temeşvar (today Timișoara, Romania), the capital of the Banat since 1552 and the last Turkish stronghold in Temeşvar Eyalet. The garrison capitulated after a 43-day siege. The city remained under military administration until 6 June 1778, when it was handed back to the administration of the Kingdom of Hungary.
