There are paintings of women on the walls. Then at the place called Mirror Wall we see poetry done by the visitors even today.
The entrance to Sigiriya is a marvelous man-made creation. It’s full of ponds, gardens and other ruins. This place is still being excavated. Sigiriya is a place
anyone should visit for its uniqueness.
