Highly recommended. It was briefly the capital of Sri Lanka in the 13th century. It features a spectacular ornamental stone staircase guarded by stone lions leading up the rock. It is far less crowded than Sigiriya and has incredible views.

The stairs are extremely steep—almost like climbing a ladder at the top. But the stone carvings are beautiful. You can explore the whole site in under 2 hours.
