The austere, grandiose site of Hampi was the last capital of the last
great Hindu Kingdom of Vijayanagar. Its fabulously rich princes built
Dravidian temples and palaces which won the admiration of travellers
between the 14th and 16th centuries. Conquered by the Deccan Muslim
confederacy in 1565, the city was pillaged over a period of six months
before being abandoned.
