SIGIRIYA

It is a large rock in the Matale District. It is about ten miles off Damubulla. We have to turn off at Inamaluwa to reach Sigiriya.
This rock had been the fortress of King Kashyapa. Who killed his own father. He built this place on the rock. Sigiriya is world famous for its Frescoes. They are very beautiful. It has a mirror wall called Katapath Paura. On that there are many graffities. They were written by the people Who visited it long ago.
It is an interesting place to see. There are hornets on the rock. Sometimes they sting people when they are roused up.
If you go there you can see the ruins of ponds, places, buildings and water trenches. These had been constructed by King Kashyapa.
