Dzong architecture is a distinctive type of fortress (, ) architecture found in the present and former Tibetan Buddhist kingdoms of the Himalayas, particularly Bhutan and south Tibet. The architecture is massive in style with towering exterior walls surrounding a complex of courtyards, temples, administrative offices, and monks' accommodation. ==Characteristics== Distinctive features include: * High inward sloping walls of brick and stone painted white with few or no windows in the lower sections of the wall * Use of a surrounding red ochre stripe near the top of the walls, sometimes punctuated by large gold circles. * Use of Chinese-style flared roofs atop interior temples. * Massive entry doors made of wood and iron * Interior courtyards and temples brightly colored in Buddhist-themed art motifs such as the ashtamangala or swastika, for example. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「dzong architecture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
