Sigiriya has become famous because of its palace ruins present at the top portion of huge 200m high rock covered by remains of a wide network, which includes reservoirs, gardens and many other similar structures. Rock is actually the plug of lava left from the long extinct volcano of ancient times. In addition, people consider this as a renowned spot because of its frescoes or ancient times of paintings, which are almost identical to painting and sculptures found at AjantaCaves of India.
