Title: Punakha Dzong’s Ornate Entrance
Location: Punakha, Bhutan, Asia
Description: Steep stairs lead up to the entrance of Punakha Dzong.
Built as a fortification, the stairs are a defense strategy to make entrance by invading enemies much harder. Once removed, the steep walls are more easily defended.
