Sigiriya, the 5th-century rock fortress of King Kasyapa, rises 200 metres above the central plains. Marvel at the famous frescoes of the Sigiriya maidens, walk through the mirror wall, and reach the summit for panoramic views of the surrounding jungle. Nearby attractions include the Dambulla Cave Temple and the ancient cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura, forming the heart of Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle.
