    The 'Tashi Choe Dzhong' or the Wonderful Religion Fortress is a spectacular fortress in Thimphu that was rebuilt in the 1770s following a fire.

    What is remarkable about the building is that it is made without a single nail!!

    It's a massive structure that can be only truly appreciated at some distance!

    For more images of this Dzhong, see the travelogues.

    Built in 1629, it is Bhutan's most ancient fortress that has survived as a complete structure.

    Many people bring their babies to the dzong for being blessed for a bright future.

    This dzong, called "fortress of the glorious religion", housed the original National Assembly and now houses the secretarat, the throne room and the offices of the king. The northern potion is the summer residence of the Central Monk Body.

    During our visit, we were not allowed inside and it was said because the Central Monk Body just came.

    The original dzong was burned in 1771.

    This large Tibetan-style chorten was built in 1974 to honour the memory of the third king, Jigme Dorji Wangchuck. It is one of the most visible religious structures in Thimphu and for many people it is the focus of their daily worship.
