Potala Palace is a Tibetan palace built on the top of the Marpo Ri (Red Mountains in Tibetan). Dalai Lama the Fifth who unified this region began the construction and the successive generations of Dalai Lama repeated extensive constructions. The present structure was completed in the 20th century. The Red Palace that serves as a mausoleum of Dalai Lama and the White Palace for residence and administrations are placed at the center, and watchtowers stand at the four corners of the structures along hillside to add a role of a fortress to this ensemble.
