Sigiriya, meaning ‘lion rock’ in Sinhalese, is an ancient rock fortress and palace surrounded by jungle in central Sri Lanka. Rising from the central plains, Sigiriya is one of Sri Lanka's most iconic sights with practically vertical cliff walls topped by a perfectly flat summit where the ancient ruins of a Kassapa city still stand. Reached by a vertigo-inducing staircase that winds its way up the rock you'll be rewarded with stunning views. The entrance to the tip of the palace was designed in the shape of a lion’s mouth, hence its name.
Even the drainage system of Sigiriya is amazing. Even the modern engineers can't understand the technology in it. How water is pumped up to 400 meters is still a secret. The fountains of water are still working.
