Sigiriya

 

Sigiriya is an  exception to the majority of archaeological sites in Sri Lanka. Most of the ruins found in the ancient cities  of Sri Lanka depict a religous character.
Sigiriya differs from them in being secular, with its pleasure gardens and frescoes of beautiful feminine figures. The royal pleasure gardens are laid out with a beautiful array of ponds, fountains, pavilions and pathways.
The high artisic quality of the painthings are visible even to day.

Sigiriya today is a UNESCO listed world site. It is one of the best preserved example of ancinent urben planing. It is the most visited historic site in Sri Lanka.
