Sigiriya

Antigua fortaleza sobre roca y uno de los símbolos de una primera visita a Sri Lanka.

Introducción

Sigiriya es una de las atracciones más reconocibles de Sri Lanka y sigue siendo una parada central en los itinerarios centrados en historia, arqueología y paisaje.

The rock fortress is tied to King Kashyapa and the 5th-century palace complex on the summit, while the surrounding gardens and ruins give the site its wider historical depth.
