About Troy
Troy, the legendary city of Homer's Iliad, lies as a layered archaeological mound near Turkey's Dardanelles coast, with excavated walls, a reconstructed wooden horse and a small museum bringing the Bronze Age site to life. While the ruins themselves are modest compared to their myth, walking the ancient walls where the Trojan War is said to have unfolded is a powerful pilgrimage for history lovers.
