Trojan Horse & Kordon Waterfront
Truva Atı / Kordon
The wooden horse prop used in the 2004 film Troy stands on the Çanakkale waterfront promenade. It is a city landmark and a popular photo spot.
The wooden horse at the northern end of the Kordon waterfront promenade was a prop used in Troy (2004), directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starring Brad Pitt. After filming, the production gave it to Çanakkale. It stands about 12 metres tall, and nearby there is a model of the ancient city of Troy with information panels. The promenade runs about 2 km along the Dardanelles, lined with cafés, seafood restaurants and bars. You can sit and watch giant cargo ships pass through the strait, with the silhouettes of Kilitbahir Castle and the Martyrs' Memorial on the opposite shore. The sunset here is especially beautiful in the evening. Admission is free all day. It is a few minutes' walk to the ferry terminal and the clock tower.
