Hampi is located in east-central Karnataka, India. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It became the centre of the Hindu Vijayanagara Empire capital in the 14th century. Chronicles left by Persian and European travellers, particularly the Portuguese, state that Hampi was a prosperous, wealthy and grand city near the Tungabhadra River, with numerous temples, farms and trading markets. By 1500 BC, Hampi-Vijayanagara was the world's second-largest medieval-era city after Beijing, and probably India's richest at that time, attracting traders from Persia and Portugal. Then followed a series of attacks by various foreign powers and the capital city was reduced to ruins.
Located in Karnataka near the modern-era city of Hosapete, Hampi's ruins are spread over 4,100 hectares (16 sq m) and it has been described by UNESCO as an 'austere, grandiose site' of more than 1,600 surviving remains of the last great Hindu kingdom in South India that includes 'forts, riverside features, royal and sacred complexes, temples, shrines, pillared halls, mandapas, memorial structures, water structures and others'.
