- Polonnaruwa - Situated to the east of the Cultural Triangle, following the Anuradhapura period, is Sri Lanka’s second ancient capital, Polonnaruwa. Although the Polonnaruwa era lasted only two centuries, the impressive monuments and monasteries it left behind demonstrate its unforgettable legacy. The archaeological remains at Polonnaruwa are displayed at the Museum of the Central Cultural Fund and its visitor center.
- Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress - Sigiriya, also known as Sinhagiri, is an ancient rock fortress located in the northern Matale District near Dambulla in Sri Lanka’s Central Province. This site holds historical and archaeological importance, dominated by a towering rock column approximately 180 meters (590 ft) high. According to the ancient Sri Lankan chronicle, the Cūḷavaṃsa, this area was once a vast forest, which transformed into a hill after storms and landslides. King Kashyapa (477 – 495 AD) chose this hill for his new capital, constructing his palace atop the rock and adorning its sides with vibrant frescoes. Midway up the rock, he built a gateway shaped like a giant lion. The name Sigiriya, or Sīnhāgiri, meaning Lion Rock, is derived from this structure, similar to Sinhapura, the Sanskrit name for Singapore, the Lion City.
