Ramp and wall at Troy, Turkey
Fortification wall and the partially restored ramp of the Troia II citadel, 2600-2250 BC, in the ruins of the Homeric city of Troy, Hill of Hissarlik, Turkey. The citadel entrance was approached by an impressive ramp paved with flat stones and flanked by mudbrick walls.
