Sigiriya Vacation Guide
Sigiriya is one of the main archaeologial attractions in Sri Lanka, and is a UNESCO world heritage site.
The site contains the ruins of a 5th century palace, which sits on top of a huge sheer-sided rock. From the top of the rock there are views over the whole of the plain below.
The site is famous for the frescoes depicting female figures, and for the lion gate with its huge lion's paws either side of the staircase ascending to the palace. At the foot of the rock are the remains of the water gardens.
The climb up the rock is made by stone staircases lower down, and higher up by means of iron staircases which have been attached to the rock. You should have some water and food before the climb,
Sigiriya is easily accessed on a tour, or by bus from Dambulla.
