Sigiriya Lions Rock is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Sri Lanka. Rising 200 meters above the surrounding jungle, this massive rock fortress was once the royal citadel of King Kashyapa in the 5th century AD. The rock gets its name from a giant lion statue that once stood at the entrance to the summit, where the king’s palace was located. Though only the lion’s paws remain today, they hint at the grandeur of the original structure.
