Cultural Triangle
Sigiriya
Ancienne forteresse rocheuse et l’un des sites emblématiques d’une première visite au Sri Lanka.
Introduction
Sigiriya est l’une des attractions les plus reconnaissables du Sri Lanka et reste une étape centrale des circuits construits autour de l’histoire, de l’archéologie et des paysages.
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.
