Domingo Paes, a Portuguese traveller who visited the Vijayanagara Empire during the reign of Krishnadevaraya (1520s), provided detailed accounts of the city’s grandeur and wealth.

Paes was greatly impressed by the size, prosperity, and architecture of Vijayanagara and compared it favourably to Rome.

Other travellers like Nicolo de Conti (Italian), Afanasy Nikitin (Russian), and Fernao Nuniz (Portuguese) also visited Vijayanagara and wrote about their experiences, but Paes is specifically known for the comparison with Rome.
