Truva Antik Kenti

The ancient city of Troy, also known as Ilion or Ilium, is located in modern-day Turkey. It is famous for being the setting of Homer’s epic poem, the Iliad, which tells the story of the Trojan War.
The city of Troy was first inhabited in the Early Bronze Age, around 3000 BCE. Over time, it grew into a major center of trade and culture in the region. However, the city was destroyed and rebuilt several times throughout its history.

The Trojan War, which according to legend took place in the 12th century BCE, was fought between the Trojans and the Greeks over the beautiful queen, Helen of Sparta. The Greeks ultimately emerged victorious, thanks to the famous ruse of the Trojan Horse.

Archaeological excavations of the site began in the 19th century, and have since uncovered many fascinating artifacts and structures from Troy’s ancient past. The city is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is visited by thousands of tourists each year.
