History


Description

Only one kilometre north of Sigiriya is another rock called Pidurangala Rock, a 200 m high single rock, overlooking the plains around. On this rock is a Buddhist monastery and numerous cave temples. At the summit is one of the largest reclining Buddha statues, made of brick and mortar.
