Troy, also known as Ilion, was an ancient city located in the present-day Çanakkale province of Turkey. It is historically significant primarily as the setting for the Greek myth of the Trojan War.
The archaeological site serves as a major tourist destination and was officially added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1998. While it shares its name with other locations, this specific site is defined by its association with classical mythology and its status as a preserved historical landmark.
