According to our history, King Kashyapa seized the kingship that belonged to his brother and branded his father alive as a cruel, stupid ruler. But the Sigiriya Kingdom, which he built for his own safety, is a great heroism of world architecture, and is recognized throughout the world. Sigiriya has always been famous since it was impossible to invade any enemy. It was a kingdom built in the sky.
It’s easy to understand why the Sigiriya Kingdom had the top priority since the UNESCO World Heritage List was published. The 660 feet above the rock face of a black stone, and the ruins of the city that is under the Sigiriya rock, allow us to get to know the craftsman’s ability and creativity.
Sigiriya is famous for its amazing creations: the smooth wall painting, the world famous frescoes, the water supply systems that are still functioning today, the vast lions foot of the Sigiriya peninsula, which is the entrance to the Sigiriya glory, and the significance of Sigiriya’s sacredness and its historical and cultural heritage.
There are suspicion about recent developments in Sigiriya, even though such a valuable resource is so valuable. For example, news stories often block the world’s famous frescoes. Although frescoes have been preserved for more than 1000 years, visitors can not be handled properly, as well as the carelessness of the officers, and they may be destroyed within a very short period of time.
Sigiriya is one of the most important World Heritage sites of Sigiriya. Thousands of people have been protected from the sun for thousands of years, but due to the deficiencies of security officers, it would be a shame to us.
