Sigiriya Museum

Sigiriya

Sigiriya Museum introduces the archaeology, planning and material culture of the Sigiriya site through objects, displays and interpretive context. It can deepen a traveller’s understanding of the wider heritage landscape, but it is a separate museum visit and should not be treated as a substitute for, or the entrance to, Sigiriya Rock Fortress.

Delft Island

Delft is an offshore island in the Jaffna region, with settlement, coastal landscapes and historic remains. It needs a boat crossing and local onward travel, so plan it as a dedicated island outing rather than a stop within Jaffna city.
