The site alone has more than 4,000 years of history. It’s now a UNESCO world heritage site

Troy has acted as a cultural bridge between the Troas region and the Balkans, Anatolia, the Aegean and Black Sea regions for many centuries through migration, occupation, trade and the transmission of knowledge.
