After the conquest of the fortress, most of the Banat became the Temeşvar Eyalet, ruled by Beylerbey Kasam Pasha.
Timișoara has been considered to be the capital of Banat since the establishment of Temeşvar Eyalet.
There is little information regarding the growth of the town.
Published maps and vedute were based on information from before the Ottoman conquest.
For example, Matthäus Seutter's 18th-century map showed the Island and Fabric areas as smaller than they were; nevertheless, the map was popular due to the author's fame and its use of colour.
Another inaccurate vedute was published in 1656 by Nicolas Sanson or Gabriel Bodenehr; there were many others.

A sketch closer to reality was made in 1602 by Ferenc Wathay.
This sketch was the basis of a veduta painted by Ludwig Förster in 1836.
In the painting the city is seen from the northeast.
We can see the castle and the wall with bastions surrounding it, the Water Tower, the irregular shape, and the city walls with their bastions and the Pasha's house.

In mid-December 1662 Leopold I sent a diplomatic mission to the Pasha of Belgrade.
The mission was led by the Baron of Goëss, and Henrik Ottendorf was part of it.
The real purpose of the visit was to observe the Ottoman military.
While praising the purpose of the visit, the Ottomans diverted it to Timișoara, where at that time they were few Ottoman troops.
The mission was left to wait and only in the summer of 1663 was it received in Belgrade.
Although in Timișoara they were always accompanied by Ottoman officials, Ottendorf took advantage of the delay, making notes of what he saw.
However, they were not allowed access everywhere, for example, not in the fortified area of the south – the old Angevin fortress and the castle.
The 1663 notes were systematized in a 1667 document of 97 pages with 24 drawings, of which two (a veduta and a plan) are of Timișoara.
The plan is considered approximate, but the veduta is considered much more accurate than anything else from the time, and is the only view of the fortress (Turkish: Temeşvar Kalesi) in the second half of the 18th century made by an eyewitness.

During the Turkish occupation, Timișoara was divided into three parts: the fortress, the town and the suburbs.
The fortress was the area where the castle and the headquarters of the vali (governor) and the kaymakam were located.
The town was the fortified area on the north side of the fortress.
In the middle of the town there was the bazaar, the centre of commerce.
The suburbs (Palanca Mare) were, in turn, divided into the Rascian Town (Rascians was the name given by the Habsburgs to the orthodox Serbs) and the Island (other than the one that protected the castle from the south) to the east, in front of the Water Gate.
In front of the castle, towards the city, there was the Water Tower.
The castle was surrounded by another four defensive towers, linked by walls.
Only the Ottomans inhabited the town.
The Catholics and the Serbs lived in the suburbs where they had their own churches.

The town was cordoned off by tall earthern walls reinforced by palisades made of tree trunks tied with wickerwork.
The walls on the west, north, and east were protected by a counterguard with a palisade.
The wall to the south was protected by the castle, and the walls on the southeast and southwest were protected by swamps.
There were deep moats in front of the counterguard, in front of the walls and between them.

The walls of the town had five gates:
Horos Kapî (Turkish: Horoz Kapısı) = The Rooster's Gate, to northwest (marked with an O on Perrette's map),
Azab Kapî (Turkish: Âzeb Kapısı) = The Gate of Azaps to the east (P)
Soukapî (Turkish: Su Kapısı) = The Gate of the Water, to the southeast (Q)
Kuciuk Kalle Kapî (Turkish: Küçük Kale Kapısı) = The Little Gate of the Fortress to the south (R) and
Kana Kapî (Turkish: Kana Kapısı) = The Blood Gate to the west (S).

The Counterguard had four gates: the Rooster's Gate (Z), the Sedi Pasha Gate (V), the Osman Aga Gate (X), and Aghas' Pasha Gate (Y).
Palanca Mare could be entered in through the Gate of the L
