Bagali Kalleshwara Temple

An 11th-century Western Chalukya temple at Nilagunda, listed by the ASI as of national importance — a soapstone shrine with a finely worked doorway, lathe-turned pillars and old Kannada inscriptions, near Harapanahalli.

The shrine of the 15th-century Veerashaiva saint Guru Kottureshwara at Kotturu, built around an older Gadde Kalleshwara Chalukya temple; its February Rathotsava (car festival) draws around 200,000 pilgrims.

The Shiva temple at Mylara (Mailara) in Hadagali taluk, centre of a large Shaiva-Kuruba pilgrimage — best known for the Karanika, when an oracle-priest balances on a taut bow and utters a yearly prophecy at the Mailara fair.

An ancient hill fortress, once a capital of the Nolamba and Uchangi-Pandya chiefs, its ramparts and a hilltop Uchchangi Ellamma (Durga) temple climbing a steep granite hill near Harapanahalli — a stiff trek with wide Deccan views.

A large masonry-and-earth dam across the Tungabhadra near Hosapete, about 15 km from Hampi, with a landscaped garden, a musical fountain and reservoir views; the spillway is spectacular when the crest gates open after the monsoon.

A hilltop Shiva (Jambunatheshwara) temple on a granite outcrop near Hosapete, reached by a stepped climb, giving quiet views over the town and the Tungabhadra plains.

A large early-16th-century temple at Ananthasayanagudi, about 5 km from Hosapete, built by Krishnadevaraya for a reclining (Ananthasayana) Vishnu; its rare barrel-vaulted brick-and-stone sanctum is one of very few of its kind, though the image is long gone.

A ruined hill fort above Gudekote in Kudligi taluk, once a Palegar (chieftain) stronghold — bastioned walls climbing a boulder hill, a stepped "cradle well" and megalithic blocks, said to have held off Tipu Sultan.

The medieval royal suburb of Malapanagudi on the old Hampi–Hosapete road, with a large stepped tank, an octagonal domed bath and remains of the stone aqueduct that once carried water to the imperial capital.
