Sigiriya fortress- Sri Lanka’s most popular tourist
destination is ‘Sigiriya’ – A 5th century rock fortress created like a
crouching lion. The name sigiriya comes from Sinhalese word “Singha Giri” or
“Lion Rock” Sigiriya has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since
1982, Sigiriya marks everything from ancient Sri Lankan history, such as
culture, art effects, architecture, views of nature. Sigiriya is the best
example as an architectural wonder and the best example of ancient Sri Lankan
civil engineering. Designs of parks, ponds, and pavilions are brilliant. Also a
good example for eco-designs.
Sigiriya is treated
as one of the most remarkable creations in the world. Only the rock carving and
the brick structure is evident today of the lion’s mouth through which millions
of people have walked to admire the beauty of this magnificent citadel. Built
by an obsessed monarch in the 5th century, Sigiriya or Lion Rock is an
astonishing feat of engineering and construction. The most striking portion of
Sigiriya, a terracotta and grey core of rock set in the cultural heart of Sri
Lanka, rises a sheer 200 meters above a forested plain, its flattened summit
sloping gently.
