Lion Rock, Sigirya, Sri Lanka - Sigiriya - TravBuddy

In Sigirya, Sri Lanka you will find one of the most well-known tourist attractions of the country. The Lion Rock. On top of the Lion Rock used to be a palace. The story is about king Kasyapa who had murdered his own father and after that took the throne to wich he wasnt entitled, but his brother was. To outsmart his brother in making any attempts to attack him and take over the throne he built a castle (well not him but most likely a lot of poor servants! aaaww.. :( ) on top of the Lion Rock so he could see every attack coming by far. (Pretty smart guy) If I'm informed correctly his brother did manage to take over the throne later so it didn't work for him in the end!

Now the Lion rock is open for tourists and the ruines of the palace can be seen at the top of the mountain. It's quite a long way to climb but the view is perfect! make sure you go on a clear day! Somewhere halfway you can see some very nice mural paintings wich are very pretty!

Again I've set the price at free.. because I have no clue about the costs!
