Domingo Paes was a portugal traveller. He visited Vijayanagar in the 16th century and said the city was “as large as Rome and very beautiful to the sight". He also gave a vivid description of the 'bazaar' of the Vijayanagara. He called the Audience Hall and the Mahanavami Dibba together as 'A house of victory.'
