Nobelmans Palace
 Location
:
Hampi, Karnataka
Once Occupied By
:
Aristocrats and High Level Officials
Nearby Attraction
:
Underground Temple
To the north east of the freshly exposed underground temple in Hampi, are the remains of several palaces improved known as the Noblemen's Palaces.
The size and design of these buildings identify that the aristocracy and high level army and administrative officers probably occupied them.
One of these palaces recently excavated lies neighboring to the road and is a four storied building. The highest floor looks as if it must have housed a rectangular board room with a thin verandah running around it.
The palace itself is surrounded by a row of rooms, separated from the main building by a paved corridor. The whole is now called the noblemen's quarters. Even in its bust state, it stands elegant and noble.
