Potala Palace,

Tibet, Lhasa (which in Sanskrit means “land of the gods”), the ledge of the Marproi (“Red Hill”) rock - it is here, above the sacred city, that the palace called the Potala rises. It was built specifically for the spiritual and political ruler of Tibet, the founder of Lamaism, the Dalai Lama V (1617 - 1682).

The building of the palace seems to be an impregnable rock. It is hard to imagine, but this building, which has more than 30 floors, was built in 1694, when high-rise buildings were not built. At one time, it was perhaps perceived in the same way as skyscrapers are today.

The Potala Palace, towering over the whole city, impresses even the sophisticated person of the 21st century with its appearance. The building on a ledge of a cliff with countless windows carved into the snow-white wall creates a feeling of something majestic and almost fabulous.

The main building of Tibet is the Potala Palace. This huge building is clearly visible from afar from different parts of the city and especially well - from the top of the Chagpo Ri hill. Being in Lhasa, you catch yourself thinking that it is impossible to take your eyes off this building. Potala is located at 3,700 meters above sea level, its height is 115 meters, the total area is more than 130,000 square meters. There is no exact data on how many rooms and halls are in the Potala. Their number is "somewhere over a thousand," as the guides say. Until now, not a single person had ever walked around all the rooms in this palace.
