Sigiriya

Sigiriya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an awe-inspiring rock fortress that rises 370 meters above the surrounding plains. Built in the 5th century by King Kassapa, it was once an impenetrable royal citadel. Today, visitors can marvel at its landscaped gardens, the massive lion’s paws at the entrance, and the famous frescoes painted on the rock face.
The Mirror Wall, once so polished that the king could see his reflection, still bears ancient inscriptions. At the summit, the ruins of the royal palace offer breathtaking panoramic views. Beyond Sigiriya, many other attractions await exploration.
