The Nine-Storey Palace of the Ladakhi Kings Leh Palace is a nine-storey former royal palace towering over the old town of Leh, in Ladakh, at about 3,500 m. It was built in the early 17th century by the Ladakhi king Sengge Namgyal (completed around 1642) as the seat of the Namgyal dynasty, and its stepped, inward-sloping walls directly anticipate the later Potala Palace in Lhasa.
