On 25 March pre-conference workshops will
take place and on 28 March a conference excursion will allow conference
attendees to visit the so-called “Sigiriya eighth wonder of the world”, the ancient
palace and fortress complex built by King Kassapa I (477–95). It lies on steep
slopes and the summit of a granite peak stands 180m high. The fortress complex
includes the remnants of a ruined palace, surrounded by an extensive network of
fortifications, vast gardens, ponds, canals, alleys and fountains. A series of
galleries and staircases emerging from the mouth of a gigantic lion constructed
of bricks and plaster provide access to the site.
