The Cultural Triangle which is home to three notable landmarks is where the UNESCO World Heritage Site is situated. An island cave temple complex that has been preserved and holds great historical and cultural significance is the Dambulla Temple. An enduring legacy is left behind by the patricidal monarch who rose to power but eventually fell as told in the Sigiriya Rock Fortress. One of the most amazing wildlife phenomena in nature is the annual spectacular gathering of elephants that takes place at the Minneriya Tank between August and September.
