Polonnaruwa Ancient City
History:
For good reason, Sigiriya is among the most visited tourist destinations in Sri Lanka. This fifth-century, abandoned city boasts a monastery, intricately designed gardens, and fortifications with walls and a moat. With its magnificent frescoes and the remnants of a royal palace on top, the two-hundred-meter-tall granite boulder that rises out of these ruins is unquestionably the primary attraction.
