Sigiriya, Sri Lanka: A Thousand Years of Wonders on Lion Rock
Located in Sri Lanka's Central Province, Sigiriya is the site of an ancient city centered on the Lion Rock. The 5th-century rock fortress is known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" and was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982.
History and Architecture of the Lion Rock
Built by King Kashyapa I in 477-495 A.D., Sigiriya was built on a 200-meter-high monolithic rock containing palaces, gardens, pools and fortifications. Its iconic design is the entrance of a huge lion statue halfway up the hill (only the claws remain), "Sigiriya" meaning "Lion Rock" in the local language.
Artistic treasures and landscape features
On the west side of the rock face are 21 frescoes of "Sigiriya Ladies" dating back 1,500 years, showing the peak of ancient Sri Lankan painting. Ancient graffiti on the wall of mirrors is the earliest written record of the Sigiriya language. The summit offers a panoramic view of the tropical jungle, and the symmetrically designed water garden at the foot of the hill is one of the oldest landscaped gardens in Asia.
