ALEXANDRIA TROAS ÖRENYERİvisitor guide.

The ancient city of Alexandria Troas is located at Kestanbolluk within Dalyan Village, Ezine District. Founded in 310 BC by Antigonus Monophthalmos, one of Alexander the Great's generals, under the name 'Antigonia', its name was changed after Alexander's death by Lysimachus to 'Alexandria Troas', meaning Alexander's city in Troas. Founded according to a fully planned urban grid, the city is an eminent settlement with temples, small baths, a stadium, fountain, stone-paved avenue, theater, aqueducts, and harbor. A notable surviving monument is the 'Herodes Atticus Gymnasium', celebrated as one of Anatolia's largest gymnasia. According to its master plan, the city covers an area of 390 hectares and an 8-km defensive wall line can be traced. Investigations demonstrate that Alexandria Troas was among Anatolia's largest ancient metropolises. Excavations are currently directed by Prof. Dr. Erhan Öztepe of Ankara University.
