Troy National Park

The national park contains multiple layers of ancient settlements, with fortification walls, temples, and residential structures spanning different historical periods.

Archaeological excavations initiated by Heinrich Schliemann in 1871 revealed ten distinct settlement layers dating from 3000 BCE to the Byzantine period.

The location represents the setting of Homer's Iliad, documenting the legendary conflict between Greeks and Trojans during the Bronze Age period.

The park includes informative displays, designated pathways, and guided tours that help visitors understand the archaeological significance of different excavation areas.

The site preserves evidence of continuous human settlement for over 4000 years, featuring structures from maritime trade routes between the Aegean and Black Sea.
