Hospet lies in Bellary District of northern
Karnataka near the Tungabhadra River, 12
km from Hampi, the site of the
ruins of the medieval city of Vijayanagara, former
capital of the Vijayanagar
Empire. The Tungabhadra Dam is here and was built in the twentieth
century. It was the entrance gate to the city of Vijayanagar for all travelers
coming from Goa and West Coast. A recent phenomenon in this region has been the
boom of the iron-ore mining business – hence also known as 'Steel City' because
of the presence of many iron and steel industries in this belt.
The world famous Hampi is also just 12 km
from Hospet.
Though the town does not have much to offer
the visitors, its importance lies in its nearness to Hampi. There was a time
when Hampi was the epitome of architectural wonders. Most of the great
buildings of this place are now in ruins.
