Citadel Wall: View of the outside of the Troia II/III Citadel Wall, ca. 2500-2200 BC. Schliemann’s “Burnt City”. This reconstruction built with hand-made and fired mudbrick preserves the original mudbrick material, which is concealed inside this wall to its full height (appro. 4 m). In the reconstruction the colour, given to the original wall as a result of a fire, is reproduced. Directly behind it, inside the Citadel, is a mudbrick Megaron (building with a porch) with a stone foundation that was excavated in 1998/99. Its walls, aligned with the Citadel Wall, still stood to 1,5 m. In 2003 a roof was placed over the whole to protect it.
