Sigiriya<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A fifth-century royal citadel built on a column of rock that rises 180 metres out of Sri Lanka\u2019s central forest.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The water gardens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pools, causeways and fountains laid out in strict symmetry below the rock. They are among the oldest landscaped gardens in the world, and their channels still fill when the rains come.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Climb to the summit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

About 1,200 steps lead past the Lion\u2019s Paws to the ruins of King Kashyapa\u2019s palace. Start early to reach the top before the heat, as the sun clears the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
