Potala Palace

UNESCO places the Potala at 3,700 metres on Red Mountain, where the White and Red Palaces rise above Lhasa’s broad valley.

Murals, scroll paintings and palm-leaf manuscripts reveal another scale of the Potala, where architecture shelters fragile surfaces and recorded knowledge.

The Potala rises above the lower ground of Lhasa.
The wider Lingkhor circuit includes the Potala among the city’s religious landmarks.
