Vijayanagara
Vijaya Nagara (Kannada: ವಿಜಯನಗರ) is in Bellary District, northern Karnataka. It is the name of the now-ruined capital city that surrounds modern-day Hampi, of the historic Vijayanagara empire which extended over the southern part of India.
In around 1500 Vijaynagar had 500,000 inhabitants, making it the largest city in the world and more than twice the size of the biggest European city, Paris. The ruins are now a World Heritage Site.
