In front of you is a quarter which belongs to the lower city to the west of Troia VI-Late VIIa citadel (14th-13th c. BCE). Stone foundations of well-built houses are clearly visible; they are very close to one another. The houses flank the street leading to the citadel.

The almost complete foundation walls of a terrace house are particular important (Troia VIIa). At the back of the house the rooms rise to two storeys. The finds of a bronze statuette and a terracotta bull figurine suggest that cultic performances might have taken place in one of the rooms.

After the destruction of Troia VI by an earthquake, the city gate was blocked and the street system was changed. Finds such as weapons, burnt strata and skeletons suggest that Troia VIIa (c. 1180 BCE) fell as the result of an attack. In the following period Troia VIIb, when foreigners from the Balkans came to Troia, the settlement was concentrated in and close to the citadel. The streets and squares are filled with house walls and big storage jars (pithoi).
