摘要
Breathtaking, spectacular, awe-inspiring, spine-tingling and magnificent, just a few words that people have used to describe Sigiriya, an ancient city built on top of and around a giant granite outcrop that rises out of a plain in a remote region of Sri Lanka.
Human occupation aside, this is a stunning natural geological wonder, but the fact the entire rock was turned into a palace adds another dimension to it’s beauty.
It is located in the Matale District of the Central Province of Sri Lanka and was designated a World Heritage Site back in 1982 and although there has been a great deal of archaeological work at the site, much of it remains shrouded in mystery.
This lost city, a royal palace built onto and around this 200 metre-high granite rock is another ancient wonder of the world and in this video you can find out all about it. Please watch, like and subscribe.
