(Sr) Lavlja stena nalazi se u centru Šri Lanke i predstavlja glavnu turističku atrakciju Šri Lanke. Masivna vulkanska stena visine preko 200 metara dominira okolinom. Prirodnu pogodnost ovog mesta iskoristio je kralj Kašjapa koji je glavni grad iz Anuradhapure premestio u Sigiriju u 5. veku n.e. Na vrhu je napravio palatu a strane je ukrasio sa freskama.
