Ramoche Temple is one of the most important and revered Buddhist temples in Lhasa, Tibet, China. Originally constructed in the 7th century during the reign of Songtsen Gampo, the temple is closely associated with Tibetan Buddhism and the history of the region. It was initially designed to house a sacred statue of the young Buddha, brought to Tibet by Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. The architecture of Ramoche Temple reflects a blend of Chinese and Tibetan styles, and it has undergone several restorations over the centuries due to damage from various historical conflicts.
