2009 Sri-Lanka Sigiriya
Sigiriya (Lion's rock) is an ancient rock fortress and palace ruin situated in the central Matale District of Sri Lanka, surrounded by the remains of an extensive network of gardens, reservoirs, and other structures. A popular tourist destination, Sigiriya is also renowned for its ancient paintings which are reminiscent of the Ajanta Caves of India. The Sigiriya was built during the reign of King Kassapa I (AD 477 495), and it is one of the seven World Heritage Sites of Sri Lanka.
The Sigiriya rock is a hardened magma plug from an extinct and long-eroded volcano. It stands high above the surrounding plain, visible for miles in all directions. The rock rests on a steep mound that rises abruptly from the flat plain surrounding it. The rock itself rises 370 m (1,214 ft) above sea level and is sheer on all sides, in many places overhanging the base. It is elliptical in plan and has a flat top that slopes gradually along the long axis of the ellipse.
Sigiriya is considered one of the most important urban planning sites of the first millennium, and the site plan is considered very elaborate and imaginative. The plan combined concepts of symmetry and asymmetry to intentionally interlock the man-made geometrical and natural forms of the surroundings. On the west side of the rock lies a park for the royals, laid out on a symmetrical plan; the park contains water retaining structures, including sophisticated surface/subsurface hydraulic systems, some of which are working even today. The south contains a man made reservoir, these were extensively used from previous capital of the dry zone of Sri Lanka. Five gates were placed at entrances. The more elaborate western gate is thought to be reserved for the royals.
2009 Sri-Lanka Sigiriya
Sigiriya è un sito archeologico dello Sri Lanka centrale. Contiene le rovine di un antico palazzo, costruito durante il regno di re Kasyapa (477 - 495 d.C.). È uno dei sette Patrimoni dell'umanità dello Sri Lanka, ed una delle attrazioni preferite dai turisti stranieri.
La roccia su cui sorge Sigiriya è composta da una dura placca magmatica eredità di un vulcano eroso. È in un luogo sopraelevato rispetto alle pianure circostanti, visibile per chilometri. La roccia si trova su una collina dai pendii scoscesi. L'altezza della collina è di 370 metri ed è a picco su tutti i lati. Ha una forma ellittica ed una sommità piatta che scende lentamente in direzione dell'asse lungo dell'ellisse.
Sigiriya, considerata da alcuni l'ottava meraviglia del mondo, è composta da un antico castello eretto da re Kasyapa nel quinto secolo. Il sito archeologico di Sigiriya contiene i resti del palazzo maggiore costruito sulla sommità piatta della collina, una terrazza di medio livello che comprende la Porta dei Leoni ed un muro con affreschi, il palazzo secondario che si arrampica sui pendii sotto la roccia, ed i fossati, le mura ed i giardini che si estendono per centinaia di metri oltre il bordo della roccia.
Il palazzo maggiore situato sulla cima della roccia comprende delle cisterne tagliate nella roccia che contengono ancora acqua. I fossati e le mura che circondano il palazzo inferiore posseggono ancora una bellezza simile a quella originaria.

シギリヤ
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%B7%E3%82%AE%E3%83%AA%E3%83%A4
シギリヤ（英語: Sigiriya）は、スリランカの中部州のマータレーにある遺跡である。
シギリヤの遺跡は、5世紀にカッサパ1世（在位477〜495年）によって建造された、要塞化した岩上の王宮跡と、それを取り囲む水路、庭園、貯蔵施設などの都市遺構からなる。岩山の中腹には『シギリヤ・レディ』として知られるフレスコの女性像が描かれている。当初は500体ともいわれたが、風化が進み現在は18体だけが残る。
シギリヤロックは火道内のマグマが硬化して出来た岩頸で、形状は楕円柱、標高約370m、岩頸そのものの高さは約195m、全方位が切り立った崖になっている。
歴史
シギリヤ・レディ
一方、兄カッサパからの難を逃れていたモッガラーナは、亡命先の南インドから軍隊を引き連れ兄に戦いを仕掛ける。当初はカッサパ王が優勢であったものの後に劣勢に転じ、観念した王は喉を掻き切り自害、495年、シギリヤは陥落する。王位についたモッガラーナはシギリヤを仏教僧に寄進し、再び都をアヌラーダプラへと移した。シギリヤは13世紀から14世紀頃まで修道院として存続するが、徐々に衰退。その後は16世紀から17世紀にキャンディ王国がこの地を分営として利用するまでの間、記録は残されておらず、また同王国の衰退の後にも再び放棄された。
建設から1400年の後、イギリス統治下の1875年に、イギリス人によって岩山に描かれたフレスコ画である"シギリヤ・レディ"が発見された。
世界遺産
古都シギリヤは、1982年、世界遺産（文化遺産）に登録された。最終更新 2013年6月2日 (日) 16:20

A new era has dawned for Sri Lanka Tourism!
Global Campaign to increase Tourist Arrivals
The defeat of terrorism and successful end of war in the country has certainly lifted the spirits of all and sundry. People are beginning to breathe fresh air of tranquility after the guns went silent in the North. The countrys private sector too has seen its confidence being regained and new optimism blossoming. Since last week the nation has seen an unprecedented wave of jubilation and patriotism.
There is new hope. All Sri Lankans are eager to embrace a new dawn where Singhalese, Tamil, Muslim, Burgher and all races, religions and creeds unite as one around an undivided island.
Despite the conflict, Sri Lanka has continued to remain one of the most attractive travel destinations in the world, being consistently rated by travelers and tourists from around the world as one of the most charming and fascinating places to visit.
From the verdant hill country of Kandy and Nuwara Eliya, to the sacred cities of Anuradahapura and Polonnorawua; the lush jungles and rainforests of Yala and Wilpattu to the tranquil beaches of the Southern Coast, Sri Lanka with bite size experiences has something to suit every taste.
With the conflict now over, Sri Lanka is looking forward to opening up the North and the East of the country, a hitherto undiscovered part of the island that is teeming with untouched beaches, idyllic villages and cultural treasures galore. The Government has already launched a 180-day rapid development plan for the North with the participation of all ministries. .
With the coastlines rebuilt for travelers and plans to develop the North and East of the island, the time is right for Sri Lanka to reap the benefits of tourism.
From Arugam Bay the Surfers Paradise, to Batticaloa where many cultures meet, going further up the coast to Trincomalee and Nilaveli, where one finds Sri Lankas most admired and pristine beaches, infra structure development has begun with the hope of attracting more tourists to these areas.
For long only accessible only to those who dared to defy caution; today these locations are being developed with heightened interest and expectation of a revival in tourism
Meanwhile a massive global communication campaign will be rolled out next month with a focus on attracting more tourists to the island during the winter season.
A local island-wide campaign titled MAKING OF THE SMALL MIRACLE was launched this week to draw on the ideas of people in projecting united Sri Lankas image to the world. The campaign is intended to bring out information on special stories, people, places and objects in each of their area enabling Sri Lanka Tourism to share the same with the world. The local campaign will lead to the launch of the new tourism brand scheduled for 23rd June 2009 . Sri Lanka Tourism has come out with a brand new set of communication materials which included new TV commercial, brochures, new internet site, memorabilias and other corporate gifts .
Sri Lanka Tourism is hopeful that the new Sri Lanka benefits from its renewed focus in the eyes of the world and attracts the same tourists and travelers alike who have yet to experience the enchanting island.
