SIGIRIYA
This legendary citadel in the sky is a massive rock which tells a tale of power, intrigue and tragedy. Its founder, King Kassyapa, who murdered his father, seized the throne from his brother, the rightful heir, then fled to the 182 meter high rock and built his palace there, safe from his enemies. Today, Sigiriya is famous for its "mirror wall" , so called because of its highly polished surface and its galleries with their pockets of frescoes; paintings of lovely maidens done in brilliant tempera on the walls.
