Archaeologists uncover monumental colonnaded avenues in Troy

A new excavation season in Troy, located in Turkey's Çanakkale province, has uncovered monumental colonnaded avenues. The dig was launched by Turkey's Ministry of Culture and Tourism, partly inspired by the global success of a new film adaptation of the Odyssey. Troy, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserves over 5,000 years of continuous settlement across ten archaeological layers.
