Royal Center, Hampi

Seat of king's from the early 14th century to the mid 16th century when they were defeated and much of Hampi was razed. So some of what you see is a reconstruction.

Next is the Lotus Temple and summer residence for the queen. 4th is the elephant stables for the royal elephants. Each of the 11 stall is different inside. 5th are some of the carvings recovered during archaeological excavations. Last is a detail of a wall.Meer informatie
