Alexandria Troas, Archaeological site in Çanakkale Province, Turkey.

The ancient ruins of Alexandria Troas extend across ten kilometers, featuring remains of Roman baths, a theater, and fortified walls with defensive towers.

Founded in 310 BCE by Antigonus I Monophthalmus, the city was renamed Alexandria Troas under Lysimachus and became a major port in northwest Asia Minor.

The archaeological site contains remains of temples dedicated to Apollo, reflecting the religious practices and architectural traditions of Hellenistic and Roman periods.

German archaeologists continue their excavation work at the site, which is accessible through the modern town of Ezine in Çanakkale Province.

The site features two ancient harbor basins and a stadium dating to 100 BCE, discovered during recent excavations by research teams.
