Founded in 1336 as Vijayanagar and already destroyed in 1565, only ruins remain from what was once one of the biggest cities in the world. The ruins are set in a weird boulder-strewn landscape and cover an area of 33 sq km. The Deccan sultans did their job thoroughly, so not much is left of the metropole described by Portugese travellers.
