Rising dramatically from the heart of Sri Lanka, Sigiriya — the Lion Rock — is one of the most extraordinary archaeological sites in the world. Once a royal citadel, later a Buddhist monastery, and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its story blends myth, art, warfare, and devotion.
The Complete History of Sigiriya takes you on a journey through the fortress-palace built by King Kashyapa, the famous frescoes of the “Heavenly Maidens,” the polished Mirror Wall, and the colossal Lion’s Gate. It explores the battles fought for the rock, the legends surrounding its creation, and the rediscovery of its secrets by archaeologists.
Blending history, heritage, and storytelling, this volume is ideal for travellers, students, and history enthusiasts alike. Rich in detail yet accessible, it brings to life the beauty and mystery of one of Asia’s greatest monuments.
