A part of the fort around the Kamala Mahal, which was built with heavy stone blocks by the rulers of Vijayanagar, collapsed at the World Heritage Site of Hampi.
The incident was discovered when security personnel reported for duty on Friday morning.
The collapse has not caused any damage to other heritage monuments which were far from the fort structure in the area.
Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) Deputy Superintendent P. Kalimuthu visited the spot and took stock of the damage.
“The fort wall collapsed on its own. There is no damage to other monuments at the World Heritage Site. We have reported the incident to the ASI Head Office. Measures will be taken to rebuild the structure, ”Mr. Kalimuthu told media representatives.
