Vijayanagara, Archaeological site in Karnataka, India
The ruins of Vijayanagara extend across rough terrain with granite boulders, monuments, temples, and infrastructure from the medieval period.
Founded in 1336 by brothers Harihara and Bukka Raya, Vijayanagara developed into the capital of an empire that controlled southern India until 1565.
The archaeological site contains numerous temples and structures that display a combination of Dravidian and Islamic architectural influences from medieval India.
The archaeological complex spans over 40 square kilometers and requires multiple days to explore the scattered monuments and temple structures.
By 1500, Vijayanagara was the second largest medieval city in the world after Beijing, with merchants from Persia and Portugal conducting trade.
