The statue was transported to Çanakkale after filming concluded in Malta and various Turkish locations.
This is distinct from the other Trojan Horse replica located directly at the archaeological site of Troy.
The statue stands near the Çanakkale Marina, facing the Dardanelles waterway.
It is frequently used as a central meeting point for both local residents and tourists visiting the Gallipoli peninsula region.
This wooden Trojan Horse statue located on the Çanakkale waterfront was a prop used in the 2004 Hollywood film Troy. It was gifted to the city of Çanakkale by actor Brad Pitt following the film's production. The structure is constructed from wood and stands as a primary landmark in the city center. It serves as a visual bridge between the modern city and the archaeological site of Troy located approximately 30 kilometers away. The statue is positioned on a stone base overlooking the Dardanelles Strait.
