Troy VII, Archaeological site in Hisarlik, Turkey

The settlement contains fortifications, residential buildings, and defensive walls constructed between 1300 and 950 BC at the northwestern edge of Anatolia.

Archaeological excavations revealed multiple layers of urban development, with Troy VII representing the final phase of Late Bronze Age occupation at the site.

The site includes architectural elements and artifacts that demonstrate trade connections between Anatolian, Aegean, and Balkan civilizations during the Bronze Age period.

The archaeological remains spread across multiple terraces, featuring a citadel at the highest point and a lower town covering approximately 30 hectares.

Discoveries of pottery, metal objects, and architectural structures indicate that Troy VII maintained commercial relations through its port in Besik Bay.
