Hampi was the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire in the 14th century.It is a fortified city. Chronicles left by Persian and European travellers, particularly the Portuguese, say that Hampi was a prosperous, wealthy and grand city near the Tungabhadra River, with numerous temples, farms and trading markets. By 1500 CE, Hampi-Vijayanagara was the worlds second-largest medieval-era city after Beijing, and probably Indias richest at that time, attracting traders from Persia and Portugal.
