Sigiriya, or Lion's rock, is an ancient rock fortress and palace ruin surrounded by the remains of an extensive network of gardens, reservoirs, and other structures. A popular tourist destination, Sigiriya is also renowned for its ancient fresco paintings which are reminiscent of the Ajanta Caves of India. Sigiriya was built during the reign of King Kassapa I and it is one of the seven World Heritage Sites of Sri Lanka. The Sigiriya rock is a hardened magma plug from an extinct and long-eroded volcano. It stands high above the surrounding plain, visible for miles in all directions.
