This site has a history of 4,000 years.Its extensive remains are the most significant and substantial evidence of the first contact between the civilisations of Anatolia and the burgeoning Mediterranean world. Excavations started more than a century ago have established a chronology that is fundamental to the understanding of this seminal period of the Old World and its cultural development. Moreover, the siege of Troy by Mycenaean warriors from Greece in the 13th century B.C., immortalised by Homer in The Iliad, has inspired great artists throughout the world ever since.Thankful to Sibel for the nice card and stamp.
