Tourist Attraction in Hospet
CHITRADURGA FORT - The fort is situated at Chitradurga around 290 km south of Hospet on the Bangalore-Hospet road. Also known as the Fort of Seven Rounds, it was built in the 17th century by the Nayak Poligars.







HAMPI - Hampi is a world Heritage Site and the erstwhile capital of the Hindu kingdom of Vijayanagar. This ruined town is guarded by rivers and granite ridges. The travelers from Europe who visited the place at the height of Vijayanagar Empire wrote that the city was as large and as beautiful as Rome






QUEEN’S BATH - This 15-metre square bath is enclosed with gallery, verandas and overhanging Rajasthani balconies. The minor waterfall inside the bath was once poured with cool, perfumed water that flowed out through an underground drain.





VITHALA TEMPLE - A World Heritage Site, the temple is located 2 km east of Hampi Bazaar. It was built in the 16th century and displays the architectural splendour acquired by the artisans of Vijayanagar Empire.







RAGHUNATH TEMPLE - Located on a hilltop, the Raghunath Temple is known for its Dravidian style.

VIRUPAKSHA TEMPLE - One of the oldest monuments in the town, this 15th-century Virupaksha Temple is part of the Hampi Bazaar area. The principal deity is Virupaksha, one of the many forms of Lord Shiva. Rising to a height of 50 metres from the ground, the temple belongs to the later Vijayanagar period.






KING’S BALANCE - Situated near the Vithala Temple, the King’s Balance has a golden past. According to legend, this balance was used to weigh the rulers against gold, jewels, and food that were later distributed to the Brahmins.






LOTUS MAHAL - The Lotus Mahal is an exquisite pavilion located in the walled area of zenana near Hazara Ram Temple. The pavilion derives its name from the lotus bud that is carved on its dome and vaulted ceiling. A fine blend of Indo-Islamic architecture.






ROYAL RESIDENCE - Situated to the west of the Hazara Rama Temple, the Royal Residence has been unearthed from recent excavations.

MUSEUM & ART GALLERY - The museum run by the Archaeological Survey of India has a very good collection of sculptures belonging to the Vijayanagar Empire. It is situated at Kamalapuram.

VIJAYANAGAR EMPIRE - Founded by the legendary brother princes Harihara and Bukka in 1336, the Vijayanagar Empire was once the mightiest kingdom of the South. It looks quite strange that a kingdom can perfect the art of building construction while fighting throughout their reign. The empire reached its height during the reign of Krishnadevraya (1509-29), a legendary king who controlled the entire peninsula south of Krishna and Tungabhadra Rivers, barring some area on the Malabar cost.
