- Sigiriya -
Sigiriya, also known as Lion Rock, is located in the heart of Sri Lanka and is home to the historical remnants of a fortified complex erected in the latter part of the 5th century atop a striking columnar rock formation. In 1982, Sigiriya earned the distinction of being a UNESCO World Heritage site. The rock’s sheer walls give it the appearance of overhanging its base, and it stands at a height of 1,144 feet above sea level, towering approximately 600 feet above the plains below. King Kashyapa of the Sinhalese dynasty constructed a massive lion-shaped palace on the summit’s expansive grounds, which was meant to serve as a bastion against adversaries. Despite his efforts, King Kashyapa was overthrown in 495, leading to the palace’s decay. Over time, Sigiriya transformed into a sacred pilgrimage site and has since become a favored destination for tourists. The journey to the peak begins at the lion’s colossal paws, which are among the few surviving elements of the once grand palace.
