Lhasa, Tibet's capital, has long been the heart of Tibetan Buddhism both spiritually and politically. The origins of this city can be traced back to the establishment of Lhasa by King Songtsen Gampo, who united Tibet and turned Lhasa into a great cultural center more than 1,300 years ago. It was then that some of the most sacred temples such as the Jokhang Temple were constructed, and they are still revered today.
Later, the famous Potala Palace, which became the Dalai Lamas' winter home, is also recognized as a Tibetan cultural symbol. Lhasa developed into a religious center receiving monks, scholars, and pilgrims from all over the Himalayas.
