At 12,139 feet above sea level, Potala is the tallest palace in the world.  The 1300-year-old building was originally built as a token of love for Tibetan Songtson Gambo, who was married to Princess Wencheng of the Chinese Tang Dynasty.  Eventually, the monks came to rule Tibet, expanding the palace and making it the Dalai Lama’s winter residence.  But when the Dalai Lama was deported to India in 1959, the Chinese government took over and turned the site into a museum.
However, the Potala Palace is a symbolic part of the Asian region.  The name Potala approves of a sacred mountain in India where the Buddha is said to reside.  Throughout the year, thousands of pilgrims pray around the perimeter of the palace for blessings and circle with wheels and beads.  Many walk thousands of miles to pay their respects. With over a thousand rooms, it houses 10,000 painted papers, 698 murals, and thousands of precious alloys. The highest point is 3,750 m (12,300 ft) above sea level. Architecturally, it is a Tibetan-style palace of stone and wood that has withstood centuries.

The ‘White / Red Palace’ has a history of 1,300 years.  AD  In 631, Sonson Gampo (the first Tibetan king) built the first palace on Red Hill. It is a royal palace as well as a fortress.  877 The building was burned to the ground during a war that ended the Tubo Kingdom. The new palace at Red Hill, called Portala, was built by order of the 5th Dalai Lama (1645-49).  Thereafter, daily political and Buddhist affairs were governed here. To this day, the Potala Palace is a sacred symbol of Tibetan Buddhism.  Many people visit the Potala Palace every day.
