Troia, a captivating destination in Europe's Iberian Peninsula, is nestled within the enchanting region of Alentejo in Portugal. This coastal paradise boasts an array of breathtaking sights and experiences that will leave you awe-inspired. One of Troia's most remarkable features is its stunning lagoon, situated within the Sado River Nature Reserve. Here, nature lovers can witness the graceful dance of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) as they gracefully navigate through the crystal-clear waters. As you explore further, your eyes will be treated to the picturesque views of Sado River Bay, adorned with the historic Outao fortress and stretching towards the magnificent Troia peninsula. These landmarks stand as testaments to Portugal's rich history and offer a glimpse into its fascinating past. Venturing beyond Portugal's borders, we find another Troia in Italy's Puglia region. Adorned by a striking cathedral captured beautifully in black and white photography, this Italian town exudes timeless charm. Art enthusiasts will revel in Troia's artistic treasures showcased through plaster sculptures like "Achilles delivers Briseis to Agamemnon’s Heralds" and "Death of Priam. " These masterpieces transport us back to ancient times when Troy was at its zenith. The bronze door Cathedral stands proudly amidst historical architecture while depictions such as "Hecuba and the Trojan women offering Peplum to Athena" bring mythical tales alive through intricate plasterwork. For those fascinated by legendary battles, a visit to Chamber of Troy (Sala di Troia) reveals an incredible detail representing The Trojan Horse - an iconic symbol forever etched in history books. Delving deeper into artistry from ancient Greece comes an Apulian krater featuring red figures depicting Phylake (=Phylace). Additionally, small sculptures resembling Helen or even taking on egg-like forms showcase exquisite craftsmanship from eras long gone.
