Sigiriya is situated 10 miles of Dambulla in the district of Matale.It is in the Center Province of Sri Lanka.Sigiriya is considered as the oldest planned city with a fortress of king Kashyapa.👑️ King Kashyapa built his place on the top of a steep rock of 600 feet of height for his security.

How ever the story of Sigiriya is not so happy one. Prince Kashyapa killed his father king Dathusena with the help of Senapathi. He tried to kill his brother Moggallana and he was fortunate flee to India.So Kashyapa was in constant fear of his brother's attack.

      And also subjects of Anuradhapura kindom did not respect new king, because he did a foul muder of his father.So Kashyapa decided to build his palace in a safer place.

Sigiriya is the result of that.
