Sigiriya stands out as one of Sri Lanka’s most remarkable cultural landmarks. Also known as Sinhagiri, this ancient rock fortress is situated in the northern Matale District, near the town of Dambulla, in the Central Province. Sigiriya, often referred to as Lion Rock, is a breathtaking place of engineering and construction.
One of its most prominent features is the magnificent Sigiriya Garden, comprising a series of ponds, fountains, and other architectural wonders. Adorning the rock wall of a cave, the Sigiriya paintings are another major attraction. Additionally, the Mirror Wall, known as Ketapath Pawura in Sinhala, is a striking feature. It earned its name because it was so meticulously polished that it reflected like a mirror.
The primary entrance, positioned on the rock’s northern side, is creatively designed in the shape of a colossal stone lion. It is likely that the area around Sigiriya was inhabited since prehistoric times. Delux Holidays is here to make your holiday to Sigiriya exceptional!
