ATOP THE SIGIRIYA ROCK FORTRESS, SRI LANKA #15 — Sigiriya is a 200m high flat-topped volcanic plug on top of which is a ruined palace and gardens, built in the 5th century by King Kashyapa I of Anuradhapura. Sigiriya, and the city below it functioned as the capital of the Anuradhapura Kingdom until Kashyapa’s death and the defeat of his army; after which, the capital returned to Anuradhapura. Sigiriya became once more the Buddhist monastery it had been before Kashyapa’s arrival, and continued as such until the 14th century, when it was abandoned. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the rock served for brief periods as an outpost of the Kandyan Kingdom before being abandoned again. In 1831, it was discovered by Maj Jonathan Forbes of the 78th Highlanders. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage site, one of seven in Sri Lanka. Shot for my story on Sigiriya and Pidurangala, which runs in the April 2018 issue of Serendib magazine.
