Ancient Troy
Troy VII is an archaeological layer at Hisarlik which corresponds to the city of Troy from roughly 1300 to 950 BC. It was a walled city comprising a citadel surrounded by a large lower town, described by Manfred Korfmann as "by the standards of its day a large and important city". One of its sublayers has been considered as a candidate for the city which inspired the legends of the Trojan War.
