Defence Architecture in Early North Karnataka c16.s4.1

c16.s4.1

At present, only the fortification wall of the citadel area is almost completely extant. The second fort wall is not continuous (Fig.58). On the east and west, the walls are raised roughly, in North-South orientation connecting the river on the north and a very large lake locally known as Nagalāpura tank on the south. This fort encloses Kamalapuram, which is about 5 km from Hampi on the bank of the river Tungabhadra and Kadirampuram. Only some parts of this fort are now extant near Kamalapuram and Kadirampuram.
