Hampi, Archaeological site in Vijayanagara district, India.
The site extends over 4,100 hectares containing more than 1,600 structures built from local granite, including temples, palaces, and water reservoirs.
During its peak around 1500 CE, Hampi ranked among the largest cities worldwide, second only to Beijing, drawing merchants from Persia and Portugal.
The monuments display a fusion of architectural styles, combining Dravidian design with Hindu, Jain, and Islamic influences throughout the structures.
The archaeological area contains multiple entry points with dedicated parking areas, while guides speaking various languages assist visitors in exploring the monuments.
The landscape incorporates massive granite boulders forming natural fortifications, with structures ingeniously integrated into the rocky terrain.
