Sigiriya | සීගිරිය | Lion Rock

Описание: Welcome to Sigiriya, one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic and breathtaking destinations! In this video, I take you on a journey to the legendary Sigiriya Lion Rock Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that stands as a testament to ancient Sri Lankan engineering, architecture, and royal ambition

Located in the heart of Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle, Sigiriya Rock Fortress rises dramatically from the plains of the Matale district. This colossal 400-meter-high rock once served as a royal citadel and today invites adventurers, history lovers, and photographers from all over the world.

I climb the historic steps of Lion Rock Sigiriya, exploring beautifully landscaped palace gardens, water fountains, the famed Lion’s Paws, and stunning frescoes hidden within caves. You’ll learn the fascinating story of King Kasyapa, who built this fortress in the 5th century after a dramatic power struggle that changed the course of Sri Lankan history.
