Sigiriya! feel its energy

Nature takes over this ancient Sri Lankan city 🇱🇰

Sigiriya is an ancient fortress city sitting on a massive column of rock nearly 200 metres high.

According to ancient Sri Lankan history the site was selected by King Kashyapa for his new capital. However it was abandoned after the king’s death in the 5th Century.

It then became a Buddhist monastery until it was once again abandoned in the 14th century.
