Where did the troy movie happen?

The movie "Troy" is set in ancient Troy, located in present-day Turkey. The story centers around the Trojan War, a conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans, which is a legendary event depicted in Homer's epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey.

While the film is inspired by these ancient texts, it takes liberties with historical accuracy and depicts the events in a more dramatic and entertaining way.
