Excavations are ongoing to uncover structures in the 5,500-year-old ancient city of Troy, which lies within the borders of Tevfikiye village in the northwestern province of Çanakkale.

Official excavations in Troy, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, began in 1871. Numerous archaeological discoveries have come to light during the works that continue throughout the year.
