The Lion's Rock boasts of being one of those great treasures that must be seen in Sri Lanka. Rising monumentally among gardens and natural pools, it has become one of the country's most important archaeological sites and one of those points of interest that must be visited on a trip to ancient Ceylon. The most impressive aspect of its facade is the huge lion's paws sculpted like stowaways in the same stone. But this rock is much more; it is the ruins of an ancient palace, a monastery, and various caverns, which traverse it like passageways.
“The palace that crowns the Lion's Rock is the oldest that still exists in Sri Lanka”
A visit to this mystical place ranges from the Royal Gardens, some of the oldest in the world, to the summit of the great Sigiriya Rock, crowned by the ancient ruins of a palace complex surrounded by pools, passing through all its caves, covered by very characteristic paintings of dubious origin. Reaching the top is a true gift that delights you with incredible views of this natural environment and allows you to appreciate the overwhelming size of the rock. Let yourself be surprised by this enormous watchtower of the ancient world!
I like to explore off the beaten path, where the known lacks mystery. Traveling alone allows me to discover remote places, enjoy landscapes, and learn from local communities. I am a free spirit who follows his impulses and enjoys every moment, choosing destinations without hesitation, as each place has its own soul.
