Hosapete, formerly Hospet is a city in Bellary District in northern Karnataka, India. Hosapete is on the Tungabhadra River, 12 km from Hampi, the site of the ruins of the medieval city of Vijayanagara, former capital of the Vijayanagar Empire. The Tungabhadra Dam is here and was built in the twentieth century. It was the entrance gate to the city of Vijayanagar for all travellers coming from Goa and West Coast. A recent phenomenon in this region has been the boom of the iron-ore mining business. Due to great international demands for iron-ore, particularly from China, there has been a lot of excessive mining in this region. To an extent, the Tungabhadra Dam as well as the ruins of Hampi are now endangered by this development.
The world famous Hampi is also just 12 km from Hosapete. It is also known as 'Steel City' this is because of the presence of many iron and steel industries in this belt.
