Troy - Information Point 9

Information Point 9

Kitchen building Palace VI M

The preserved remains of Troy VII's wall are visible on the way to Information Point 9 above the fortifications for Troy VI. Inside the ring wall stands the impressive 27m/30yd long supporting wall for House VI M which certainly formed a part of Troy VI's citadel.

This large building of the Mycenaean period on a 4m/13ft high terrace is known as the Kitchen Building on the basis of the large pithois (storage vessels) and other objects found in one of the rooms. A flight of steps inside led to a second floor.
