| Tent construction in Troy |
You will see this giant map of Troia with the hearty welcome just after you leave your car or a bus. Troy as a legendary city and centre of the Trojan War attracts a lot of tourists from all over the world. It was one of the main attractions in my rout across Turkey and I was happy to see it with my own eyes.
Now it is the name of an archaeological site, the traditional location of Homeric Troy, at the Hisarlik Hill, close to the seacoast.
Today there is a Turkish town called Truva in the vicinity of the archaeological site, but this town has grown up recently to service the tourist trade.
The archaeological site is officially called Troia by the Turkish government and appears as such on many maps. |

Sergey, another interesting page about your trip through Turkey. Fabulous commentaries and brilliant photos. Of course I like the sleepy Trojan dog the most. ;-) | Trekki Sat Oct 3, 2009 08:05 UTC
Fascinating morning read, watching and listening :-)) No matter where the original Troia site is, I loved to read again all about it! Thanks for the reading list and THANKS for showing me more of Vangelis music I didn't know before (Mythodea) :-))) | LoriPori Mon Jul 13, 2009 23:28 UTC
I found it most fascinating about Priam's Treasure and the stories behind it. | JLBG Mon Jun 22, 2009 05:09 UTC
A beautiful piece of history! I feel the Trojan horse is the best known weapon ever used any war but I am afraid this copy would not have fooled anybody, haha! There is as much controversy in France for the site of Alesia, where Cesar won Vercingetorix! |
