The rocks form the site of Pidurangala Vihara, a former Buddhist monastery, which is a registered archaeological protected site. Caves house a temple, Sigiri Pidurangala Raja Maha Viharaya, which is believed to have been built by King Kashyapa in the 5th century, and a monumental brick statue of a reclining Buddha. King Kashyapa’s stupa is near the entrance to the monastery, and there are remains of another stupa on the top of the outcrop
