Sigiriya or Sinhagiri is an ancient rock fortress located in the northern Matale District near the town of Dambulla in the Central Province, Sri Lanka. The name refers to a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of rock nearly 200 metres 660 ft high.[citation needed]
According to the ancient Sri Lankan chronicle the Culavamsa, this site was selected by King Kashyapa 477 ââ¬â 495 AD for his new capital. He built his palace on the top of this rock and decorated its sides with colourful frescoes. On a small plateau about halfway up the side of this rock he built a gateway in the form of an enormous lion. The name of this place is derived from this structure ââ¬â Sinhagiri, means Lion Rock
