The  Royal  Gardens

         One of the major foci of the Cultural Triangle excavations has been the Sigiriya gardens. Sigiriya provides us with a

 unique and relatively little known example of what is one of the oldest landscaped gardens in the world, whose skeletal layout and significant features are still in a fair state of preservation.

        Three distinct but interlinked forms are found here: water gardens, cave and boulder gardens, and stepped or terraced gardens encircling the rock. A combination of these three garden types is also seen in the palace gardens on the summit of the rock.
