WORLD CIVILIZATION

Detailed explanation-1: -Since antiquity, Troy was believed to be located in an area called the ‘Troad’ in the northwest corner of modern-day Turkey. For centuries, pilgrims and travellers made the journey to the Troad to stand on the ground where they believed heroes once walked.

Detailed explanation-2: -Perhaps somewhat confusingly, the modern site of Troy is known in Turkey as Hisarlik, but the local Turks will understand what you mean by Troy-although they spell it as Troja. Troy is around 19 miles from Canakkale and around 4 miles from the Aegean Sea as well as the Dardanelles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Troy (in ancient Greek, or Ilios), was located in western Turkey – not far from the modern city of Canakkale (better known as Gallipoli), at the mouth of the Dardarnelles strait.

Detailed explanation-4: -Troy is an ancient city and archaeological site in modern-day Turkey, but is also famously the setting for the legendary Trojan War in Homer’s epic poems the “Iliad” and the “Odyssey.” In legend, the city of Troy was besieged for 10 years and eventually conquered by a Greek army led by King Agamemnon.
