Sigiriya, also known as Sinhagiri, is a historical fortress erected on a gigantic rock column nearly 200 metres (660 ft) in height. It is found in the northern Matale District, near Dambulla in Sri Lanka’s Central Province. The site is an area of significant historical and archaeological value. The ancient Sri Lankan chronicles, the Culavamsa, says that King Kashyapa (477 – 495 AD) selected this site as his capital city. He constructed his royal residence on the summit of this rock, adorned it with vibrant frescoes, and built a monumental lion-shaped gateway on a small plateau halfway up the rock’s side. The name ‘Sīnhāgiri’ — meaning Lion Rock, bears an etymological resemblance to ‘Sinhapura’, the Sanskrit term for Singapore, translating to the Lion City.
