Sigiriya 8th Wonder of the World!

Rising from the jungle floor of Sri Lanka is an ancient rock formation shrouded in mystery. On this episode, we uncover Sigiriya the 8th Wonder of the World.

Sigiriya the name of this rock formation was derived from the word Sinhagiri meaning Lion Rock. Being an ancient rock fortress in the northern Matale district near the town of Dambulla, Sigiriya features not only brick constructed structures around the rock but also on top. Considered by many as the 8th wonder of the world, this site was once a fortress that eventually was used as a Buddhist monastery until the 14th century. Believed to be 1500 years old, this monolithic rock is only one of it’s kind in the world.
