ViviTroy, as a city, no longer exists. However the site of Troy is believed to be close to the sea in north-west Turkey. The site of ancient Troy is as certain as anything in archeology can be. It is the mound of Hisarlik located on the eastern side of the Dardenelles in modern Turkey.

What country is troy in?
