Queen's Bath is one of the sites that showcases the architectural excellence of the Vijayanagara Empire. Located close to the royal enclosure in Hampi, Queen's Bath is one of those historic sites that one must visit while travelling to Hampi. Dated around 500 years old, it was constructed as a bath area for the women of the royal family which is believed to be used as a private bathing area for kings and queens. Constructed in Indo-Islamic style of architecture, this rectangular bath is surrounded by ornate arched corridors and balconies with glass stained windows. Post the Mughal attack, the Queen's bath is used as a picnic spot by tourists. It is open from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM on all days of the week. You can also buy small stone carved souvenirs at the Queen's Bath.
