The frescoes at Sigiriya are absolutely breathtaking! These ancient murals, depicting celestial maidens, are some of the most vibrant and well-preserved art pieces I’ve ever seen. The colors and details are extraordinary, especially considering they were created over 1,500 years ago. What makes them truly unique is their location, painted high on the rock wall, giving the feeling that these figures are floating in the air. What’s also fascinating is the connection to the famous frescoes of the Ajanta Caves in India. The style, the portrayal of figures, and the artistic techniques show a strong influence from Indian art traditions, particularly from the Gupta period. You can see a shared sense of grace and movement in the figures, which adds to the rich cultural heritage of the region. If you're an art lover or a history buff, these frescoes are a must-see. They offer a window into the artistic brilliance of that era and the cultural exchange between Sri Lanka and India. Truly a unique treasure!

Sigriya visit was once in a lifetime for me. Its a historical place and worth a visit to see the ancient construction and paintings

Für über 30€ definitiv viel zu teuer. Zwar ist es ein schöner Felsen mit toller Aussicht jedoch ist die Treppenkonstruktion echt Hartcore zum heraufgehen. Oben sieht man nicht viel außer einer quasi Aussichtsplattform. Beim Herabsteigen kommen die tollen Gemälde an den Wänden. Jedoch echt nicht spektakulär. Vorher echt zu überlegen ob man das Geld dafür ausgibt

Piękne malowidła, naprawdę nieźle zachowane ...jest zakazane fotografowania, więc nie wiem czy będą widoczne . Wejście dosyć stronę, bo spiralą ale bez problemu wejdzie każdy sprawny fizycznie...jak to wykonano w tamtych czasach nie mam pojęcia...warto zobaczyć gdy już się tam dotarło 😉🫠🙃

Naplatiti ulaznicu 35$ je stvarno previše. Uz to zabranjeno je slikanje jer blic može uništiti freske, i to je u redu, ali zašto zabranjuju i snimanje? Sve se svodi na prodaju i nabijanje cijene turistima i to višestruko. Sramota za vladu Sri Lanka!

Красивые виды. Можно сделать множество красивых фотографий. Вход в это замечательное место 35$. Недалеко можно снять домик в джунглях, природа замечательная, поют птицы, бегают обезьяны
