Ancient Troy (Troia) of Turkey and Greece

Troy is now no longer a physical place but it most certainly existed in the past-it has been assessed to be quite close to today's city of Troia, Tevfikiye Köyü in the Intepe/Çanakkale Province of Turkey

Troy was an ancient Grecian city situated in the far northwest of the region known in late Classical antiquity as "Asia Minor;" and is more recently known as "Anatolia," which is in modern Turkey, near to the southwest mouth of the Dardanelles strait (just to the south) and northwest of Mount Ida

The present-day location is known as "Hisarlik"

Alternate spellings include

Ancient Greek: Troia, Ilion or Ilios
Latin: Ilium
Hittite: Wilusha or Truwisha
Turkish: Truva or Troya
