The Great Potala Palace in Lhasa

The Potala Palace is built by King Songtsen Gampo in 637. The palace was constructed over caves used by the King for meditation. Construction of the present structure began during the reign of the fifth Dalai Lama in 1645 and took divisions of laborers and artisans for more than 50 years to complete. The layout of the Potala Palace includes the rooftop White Palace (the eastern part of the building), used for the living quarters of the Dalai Lama, and the central Red Palace, used for religious functions. The most stunning chapels of the Red Palace house decorated golden chörten (Tibetan stupa) tombs of several previous Dalai Lamas. The apartments of the 13th and 14th Dalai Lamas, which are in the White Palace, offer a more personal insight into palace life.
