Site of Troy Located at Hissarlik Mound In Asia Minor
The traditional site of Troy at the Hissarlik mound lies on a spur between the Scamander valley and a tributary from the east about three and a half miles from the Dardanelles and the Aegean. The long academic dispute on Troy’s location began circa AD 160 with Demetrius of Scepsis and is regarded as settled by the 1893 discovery of a fortress on Hissarlik dating to Mycenaean times, overlying Schliemann’s earlier acropolis.
