Era: Tibetan Buddhism
Built: 637 AD (with extensive renovations in the 17th century)
The Potala Palace is an extraordinary structure that sits high on a hill in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa.
It was the winter residence of the Dalai Lama until his exile in 1959.
The palace is a stunning example of Tibetan architecture, with its white-and-red exterior, and is one of the most important spiritual landmarks in Buddhism.
Inside, the palace is filled with chapels, murals, statues, and tombs of past Dalai Lamas, offering a deep spiritual atmosphere.
