When did the City of Troy end?

Asked by Wiki User

There were many different cities built on the site of Troy. In each case, the city was built, then later destroyed or abandoned, then sometimes left unoccupied for a while, and then later re-built. The first known city of Troy was built about 3000 B.C. The one that's considered most likely to be the subject of the Iliad was destroyed by war and fire in 1260 B.C. The last Troy began its decline after the construction of Constantinople in the 4th century A.D.
