Sri Lanka: Steps leading up Sigiriya (Lion's Rock)

Sigiriya (Lion's rock) is an ancient rock fortress and palace ruin situated in the central Matale District of Sri Lanka, surrounded by the remains of an extensive network of gardens, reservoirs, and other structures. Sigiriya was built during the reign of King Kasyapa I (CE 477 – 495) and after his death it was used as a Buddhist monastery until the 14th century.
