Best Answer

Troy was one of the most formidable of the ancient cities. It was located in what is now Turkey, overlooking the Hellespont/Dardanelles. It is said to have been built by Neptune, and so in Virgil's Aeneid is referred to as Neptunes Troy. It is said to have walls half a mile high, and could only be penetrated through the trick of the Trojan horse.
