🇱🇰Sri Lanka, Sigiriya

8 wonder of the world Sigiriya is an ancient city of the island of Ceylon, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Sri Lanka. Mount Sigiriya is a rocky plateau, which is also called Lion Mountain or Rock, which rises 370 meters above sea level! At the top of the plateau are the remains of the city, as well as the ruins of an ancient fortress and palaces built (according to one version) during the reign of King Kashyapa (479-495).

The palace was built on the highest point of the mountain: a luxurious structure surrounded by fountains (one of the first in the world!), swimming pools and beautiful gardens. Inside the castle there is a magnificent gallery with frescoes depicting the concubines of the king, as well as a hall of mirrors – it was one of the most unusual and rich buildings of that time.
