The Heart of
Ancient Ceylon

Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle links three of the island's most extraordinary sites — Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, and Anuradhapura — each a window into an ancient civilisation that once dominated Southeast Asia.

"To walk through the Cultural Triangle is to step through 2,500 years of unbroken civilisation — kingdoms built in stone, gardens carved from rock, and frescoes that still burn with colour."
Sigiriya
UNESCO World Heritage

Sigiriya

The 5th-century Lion Rock fortress rises 200m above the surrounding jungle, crowned by the ruins of a royal palace with frescoes of stunning celestial maidens.
