Hampi which lies
13 kms east of Hospet, was once the seat of the great
Vijaynagara empire and the centre of Hindu rule for 200 years
from its foundation in 1336. Enormously wealthy, greater than
Rome, they held a monopoly of trade in spices and cotton. This
site was chosen for strategic reasons, but the craftsmen
excelled in adopting an ingenious style to blend in
architectural masterpieces with the barren and rocky
landscapes. Most of the sites are 16th century and built
during the 20-year reign of Krishna deva Raya.
