Cinnamon Air Flights Serving Yapahuwa through Sigiriya

Feel the breeze as it stirs the peaceful atmosphere of the Yapahuwa stone ruins, one of Sri Lanka’s ancient treasures. The towering Yapahuwa rock fortress rises over 300 feet into the sky, a symbol of a history that stretches back to the 13th Century.

Once the capital of Sri Lanka and a sanctuary for the Sacred Tooth Relic of Buddha, Yapahuwa is one of the island’s most intriguing historical treasures. Smaller in size than Sigiriya, it retains a unique charm and is a must-see for history enthusiasts.

Visitors are drawn to the remnants of King Buvenekabahu’s kingdom and the iconic ornamental stairway. This impressive staircase, lined with intricate carvings, leads you upwards, revealing stunning views of the surrounding jungle, rolling hills, and dramatic rock formations.

At the top, you’ll be greeted by a large stone doorway flanked by towering walls and two beautifully carved windows. Known as the jewel of the ruins, these windows are compared to the tracery work of the Taj Mahal. The carvings depict Bacchanalian figures, women, swans, and various animals.

Don’t miss the chance to explore the caves at the base of the rock, where you’ll find shrines with Buddha statues, ancient inscriptions, and a peaceful Buddhist temple. The surrounding fortifications, complete with two moats, only add to the allure of this ancient site.
