Sigiriya, often called the “Lion Rock,” is one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic and awe-inspiring landmarks. Rising nearly 200 meters above the surrounding plains, this ancient rock fortress was built in the 5th century by King Kasyapa and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can climb through landscaped gardens, water features, and narrow staircases to reach the summit, where the ruins of a royal palace and breathtaking panoramic views await. Along the way, marvel at the world-famous Sigiriya frescoes and the Mirror Wall—both remarkable examples of ancient artistry and engineering. Sigiriya stands as a symbol of Sri Lanka’s rich cultural heritage and architectural brilliance.
