The eighth wonder of the word ( Sigiriya)




I like to visit Sigiriya once a year. It is an ancient rock for trees. It was built by king Kashyapa. The rock is 600ft in height.

Sigiriya is word famous for the its frescoes. As well as it is a place of archaeological and historical value. Foreign tourists who come to Sri Lanka never fail to visit Sigiriya.  

We can see the graffiti or verses on the mirror wall. These verses had been written by ancient visitors. These verses help us to learn about evolution and development of the language.

We have to climb up the rock along a flight of steps through the mouth of a large carved lion. That’s why it is called “Sinha giri” or Sigiri.

 There are ruins of an ancient palace on the top of the rock. Sigiriya is regarded as the eighth wonder of the world.
