This photo was taken in Canakkale, the nearest major town to the ancient site of Troy. The wooden horse is from the 2004 movie “Troy”. But because the film was not made in Turkey where actual Troy had been, the Turks were very insulted. To apologize, the film-makers decided to present the horse to Canakkale. Today it stands facing the sea on the seaport.
