With a 4,000-year history, Troy is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. The site was first excavated in 1870 by the famous archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann. From a scientific point of view, its extensive remains are the most important evidence of the first contact between Anatolian civilization and the Mediterranean world. In addition, the siege of Troy by Greek Spartan and Achaean warriors in the 13th or 12th century BC was immortalized by Homer in The Iliad and has inspired great creative artists around the world since then.
