Polonnaruwa was the second kingdom of Sri Lanka following the chapter of Anuradhapura. It was made capital of the country by King Vijayabahu I. However, it was Parakramabahu I who was the grandson of King Vijayabahu who developed Polonnaruwa to a grand city. During the reign of this King the city underwent drastic growth in the fields of agriculture and trade. The famous quote of King Parakramabahu I was that “not a single drop of water that falls from the heavens should be left unused”. The ancient city of Polonnaruwa became a UNESCO World Heritage listed site in 1982.
Sigiriya also known as the Lions Rock is a rock fortress and a palace located in the Matale district near Dambulla.. This ruin is surrounded by gardens, ponds and other structures. Sigiriya was built by King Kassapa and it is included as a World Heritage site. Sigiriya is the best preserved city centre in Asia.
Sigiriya mainly consist of a palace created on the summit of the rock, the terrace with the lion gate, mirror wall with beautiful frescoes, the moats and of course the beautiful gardens at the base of the rock.
Many remains of Sigiriya still seem to surprise archaeologists, antiquarians and travelers about the creativity and knowledge of its builders. For instance, the cisterns dug into the rock in the summit still retain water. The gardens, moats and walls surrounding the base of the rock are also picturesque and astounding.
To reach the top of Sigiriya, you will need to climb 1200 steps. Even though it sounds daunting it is not that hard. We saw many older people doing it, and there are many places to stop and catch your breath.
