Constantin Diaconovici Loga Boulevard (Romanian: Bulevardul Constantin Diaconovici Loga) is a boulevard in Timișoara, Romania. Until 1990 it was known as Victory Boulevard (Romanian: Bulevardul Victoriei), when it was renamed after Constantin Diaconovici Loga (1770–1850), a local pedagogue and writer.[2] Along the boulevard are several important landmarks, including Timișoara City Hall, the Timiș County School Inspectorate, the Banat Metropolitanate, Constantin Diaconovici Loga National College, and Carmen Sylva National Pedagogical College. During the communist era, the interwar-style houses that define the character of Constantin Diaconovici Loga Boulevard were used by the Securitate—the Romanian secret police—as sites for detention and interrogation.[3]
