Troy, 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?

Troy was, of course, a city state, so it was in, well, Troy. The site of the ancient city is now in Turkey - the Asian part of Turkey, which theRomans called Asia Minor. The Troy of the Trojan War period was in Wilusa, a country that the Hittites referred to as an Arzawan Land, meaning that it was once part of greater Arzawa, a country that extended from Wilusa south to modern Miletos, and inland several hundred kilometers. At the time of the Trojan War, Wilusa was a vassal state of Hatti, paying tribute to Hatti and supplying soldiers to Hatti's Great King when called upon to do so based on situations carefully spelled out in a treaty that has been found and translated.

Has Troy geographically changed since it became Turkey?

The location of Troy has not changed from when it was an Anatolian city with Hellenic culture to now when it is an Anatolian city with Turkish culture. There has been some minor shifting in the exact location of the coastline and some of the local rivers, but the spot on the Earth where Troy is has not moved.Additionally, since the city of Troy is only a ruin, e.g. there is no modern city where Troy is, the name has not changed either. Most modern Turks associate Troy with the city Canakkale, but this provincial city is still 30-minutes drive from Troy.
