The Children's Emergency Clinical Hospital „Louis Țurcanu" is located on the southwestern edge of the Historic Center of Timișoara, where the last defensive lines of the bastion fortification (in front of the Mercy bastion) are located. We know from the archive data that they were demolished in 1912 to open an access road from inside the Citadel to the city's train station. In the space occupied by the current hospital where guardwalls VI and counterguardwalls XXVI were, in the western area of the Mercy bastion, practically we digg a part from the last defense line of the fortress. The area targeted by the archaeological researches was in the Ottoman era under the waters, the Bega river deposit in the area a clayey, black-blue mud on a large part of the surface of the soil. The raising of the bastion fortification was done by draining the water by means of drainage channels, after which they cut into the sand dunes the stellar form of the defensive system. The land resulting from the construction of the bastion was a filling of the guards and constraints. No other anthropic facilities were found before the Habsburg fortress was built in this terrain. The walls that formed the foundations of the guard VI, the counterguard XXVI and the counterstraints were massively affected by the foundation of the facilities of the Emergency Hospital for Children „Louis Țurcanu" and by the old sewage works and the introduction of utilities during the communist period. The preventive research of the extension of the „Louis Țurcanu" Children's Hospital comes to complement our information not only about the construction technique in which the Timișoara bastion fortress was built in the 18th century, but also how it was demolished at the beginning of the 20th century. The archaeological excavation provided important information not only about planimetry related to the wall and cave layout, but also about the quality of the construction materials used by the Habsburgs and their effort to fortify a strategic point in a water and marsh area.
