It's a clock (four to be precise) on a tower in a small square. But a nice place to sit, eat or drink. Not really something to review.

Site of the heroic siege in in Homer's Iliad, Troy (Truva in Turkish, Ilion in Greek) was excavated in the 1870s by Heinrich Schliemann. He uncovered civilizations dating back 5,000 years, including best-preserved Roman architecture. Explanatory materials at the site are limited, so visitors should bring a good history text or hire a guide.
I am still gloating over the lmpact of my visit to Troy yesterday. The presence of the wooden horse at the entrance is surrounded by mystery. The legend has it that the Greek soldiers came hidden in it during the Trojan war though its authenticity is yet to be established. The ruins of the city are well preserved and a wooden pathway makes the place easily accessible.There is a great sense of well being as we walk around.
