Immovable Culture Heritage

Located in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region of China, the Potala Palace is a palace complex of great historical, religious and cultural value. It was built in the 7th century A.D. and has been expanded over the years to become the winter palace of the Tibetan king and an important centre of Buddhism in Tibet. The Potala Palace is not only the most famous landmark and tourist attraction in Tibet, but also an important place for religious activities. As one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Potala Palace is internationally protected for its unique architectural art, religious significance, and its importance in Tibetan culture and history. Due to its location and structure, the Potala Palace is an immovable heritage site, meaning that it is closely associated with its location and cannot be relocated. The palace and the artefacts, artefacts, murals and libraries it contains are part of its cultural heritage and together they tell the story of the history and spiritual life of Tibet and its people.
