Troy, also known as Ilion, was an ancient city located in the present-day Çanakkale province of Turkey. It is primarily recognized as the legendary setting for the Greek myth of the Trojan War.
The archaeological site serves as a significant tourist destination and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1998. While there is a city named Troy in the United States, this historical location is distinguished by its association with classical antiquity and its status as a protected world heritage site.
