Domingo Paes was a Portuguese traveller who visited the Vijayanagara Empire in the early 16th century, specifically around 1520-1522, during the reign of its most famous ruler, Krishnadevaraya. His detailed account, known as the ‘Chronica dos Reis de Bisnaga’ (Chronicle of the Kings of Vijayanagara), provides valuable insights into the city of Vijayanagara (Hampi), its administration, military strength, economy, and social life.
