Brief Description
"The ruins of the capital built by the parricidal King Kassapa I
(477–95) lie on the steep slopes and at the summit of a granite peak
standing some 370 m high (the 'Lion's Rock', which dominates the jungle
from all sides). A series of galleries and staircases emerging from the
mouth of a gigantic lion constructed of bricks and plaster provide
access to the site."
锡吉里亚古城
"锡吉里亚古城是弑亲的迦叶波一世（公元477-495年）时所建国都的遗址。锡吉里亚古城遗址位处陡峭的斜坡之上，位于高达370米的花岗岩山峰峰顶“狮子岩”上，这里人们可以从四面俯视整个丛林。用砖和灰泥修筑的长廊和台阶从巨狮口中延伸而出，通向锡吉里亚古城遗址 。"
