Troy, Turkey

 

The city of Troy is well known for the legend of the Trojan Horse that Greek troops hid inside to gain access to the city which they then destroyed. The reason that the Greeks were so annoyed with the Trojans was because Helen of Sparta had run off with a prince of Troy. She was now Helen of Troy — the face that launched a thousand ships. The city was lost for hundreds of years before it was discovered in part of what is now modern-day Turkey.
