    The document summarizes Tibetan architecture, which is influenced by the cold climate and uses stone, clay, and wood as primary materials. Religious structures fall into two categories - temples used for ceremonies and stupas which hold religious relics. The most important example is the Potala Palace, formerly home to the Dalai Lama, which is the highest Tibetan castle and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994. It has outer administrative quarters and inner chapels housing Buddhist scriptures.
