Hisarlik

Hisarlik, or Hissarlik ("Place of Fortresses"), is the modern Turkish name for the ancient site of Troy, also known as Ilion, and is located in what is now Turkey (known throughout history as Anatolia). Hisarlik, now an unoccupied archaeological site, lies approximately 6.5 km from the Aegean Sea and equidistant from the Dardanelles. The rediscovery of Troy from a deserted, scrub-covered mound is a story of heroic proportions to rival the original epic which ensured the survival of the legend of Troy long after the city had been deserted by the descendants of Homer's Trojans.
