Queen's Bath
Queen's Bath, Hampi
A plain square exterior that hides a large bath lined with pointed-arch cloisters and small balconies, ringed by a moat; a royal place for leisure.
The Queen's Bath sits in the southeast corner of the Royal Centre. Its exterior is a plain square building, but inside lies a large bath about 15 m square, surrounded by a cloister of pointed arches in Indo-Islamic style, with small projecting balconies above and finely decorated vaults. The building is encircled by a moat, and it is believed to have been a place of leisure for royal family members. The bath is now dry. Admission is free. It lies beside the road from Kamalapur to Hampi and is usually the starting point for a tour of the Royal Centre.
