Archaeologists have uncovered remains of at least nine ancient cities in Troy, representing different layers of settlement built on top of one another over time. These cities are thought to date back to various periods, spanning from the Early Bronze Age to the Roman period.
A historian - schleimann i think - read Homers Illiad, made comparisons of the geographical layouts described and locations mentioned in it, and excavated several sites until he found it. It should be noted that the archaeologist missed homer's troy by two or more strata.
The walled city where archaeologists uncovered a very early Greek culture was Mycenae. Mycenae was a major center of Greek civilization in the late Bronze Age, known for its impressive fortification walls, palaces, and tombs. These discoveries have provided valuable insights into the ancient Mycenaean culture and its relationship with other Mediterranean civilizations.
The Battle of Troy likely took place in a hilly and fortified area, with soldiers fighting in close combat using weapons like swords, spears, and bows. The landscape may have included a walled city, open fields for combat, and possibly a beach where ships were anchored for transport. The battle would have been chaotic and intense, with dust, smoke, and the sounds of war filling the air.
The leader of the expedition to Troy was Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae. He was the brother of Menelaus, whose wife Helen was taken to Troy, sparking the Trojan War.
No, the walls of ancient Troy are no longer standing. The site of Troy, located in modern-day Turkey, has archaeological remnants, but the walls themselves have not survived.
Though Schliemann began the excavations on the site, the city he uncovered was probably not the one associated with the Trojan War. That city [Troy VIIa] was uncovered by Dörpfeld.

Troy and Troas
Heinrich Schliemann's excavations at Hissarlik at the end of the nineteenth century revealed a series of late bronze-age cities approximately on the site where Troy had always assumed to have stood. There is ongoing debate about which of these cities was the actual Troy (several of them had been destroyed by military action) - but nobody seriously argues that Troy was mythical anymore.
Troy and Atlantis were both thought of as legendary cities, until Troy was discovered in 1871 by Heinrich Schliemann. Atlantis remains a mystery to this day.
