Sgiriya is a historic rock castle and palace that was constructed by King Kashyapa between 473 and 495 and stands impressively 660 feet straight up. It is situated in Sri Lanka's central province's northern Matale district, close to the town of Dambulla. Before reaching the Lion Rock Fortress at the summit of Sigiriya, you must ascend 1200 steps, which are known as the Sigiriya or the Sinhagiri. There are various platforms that divide the steps and provide space for a little rest if necessary. As one of Sri Lanka's best-known archaeological treasures today, Sigiriya Rock Fortress was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982 under the name Ancient City of Sigiriya, Sri Lanka.
