South Gate, Troy, Turkey
The South Gate of Troia VI, 17th-15th centuries BC, probably the principal entrance to the citadel, in the ruins of the Homeric city of Troy, Hill of Hissarlik, Turkey. Only the roadway survives today, leading in a straight line up into the citadel. It was originally entirely paved with stone slabs and a drainage channel runs beneath the paving stones. Troy was a city, both factual and legendary, in northwest Anatolia and was the setting of the Trojan Wars described in Homer's Iliad. Picture by Manuel Cohen
