The South Gate. The South Gate was probably the principal entrance to the citadel of Troia VI. Only the roadway survives. It led in a straight line up into the citadel and was entirely paved with stone slabs. In the middle of the road a drainage channel, possibly of Troia VII, runs beneath the paving stones.
The South Tower (measuring 10 x 9,5 m) was added to the citadel only later in Troia VI. The walls, whose execution is like that of the walls of the East Tower, are built directly on bedrock and are preserved to a height of two meters. Immediately in front of the tower stood several stone stelae, evidence of a typical Anatolian gateway cult.
On some pictures: To the left the pillar house, with a size of 12 x 27 meters, largest house of Troy VI. In the hall of the house stood two pillars, supporting the heavy roof or possibly a second story.
