Sigiriya


Sigiriya


When talk about the places, Sigiriya is a marvelous place to visit in Sri Lanka. Before two years ago I visited that place with my friends. I read a book which was written about the places in Sri Lanka, author described about the Sigiriya nicely, due to that interest I visited Sigiriya. It was the kingdom of king Kasyapa in earliest time. Sigiriya is famous due to its archaeological plan and features. Such as Frescoes, The mirror wall, Water gardens, Ponds, etc. Sigiriya frescoes are similar to Ajantha Caves' frescoes. I always tell, Sigiriya is the best place that I have ever visited in Sri Lanka.
I posted some photographs of Sigiriya here.

    I only heard about Sigiriya and seen only at one time when I am climbing 'Rosa Thirivana Kanda'. It is a very beautiful and valuable place because we can imagine the strength of Sri Lankans when we are visiting this place.

  3. Sigiriya is very popular due to the technology that have used to draw pictures in the "Mirror Wall" and the architecture that has used when building the kingdom.

  5. Sigiriya is located within the cultural triangle formed by Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura, and Kandy, which includes five of the eight world heritage sites in past. It is a place which can be showed pride of Sri Lanka.

    sigiriya is a valuable and historical place in our country. Garden of sigiriya is very attractive.The Gardens of the Sigiriya city are one of the most important aspects of the site, as it is among the oldest landscaped gardens in the world. The gardens are divided into three distinct but linked forms: water gardens, cave and boulder gardens, and terraced gardens
