The founder of Key Gompa is Dromton. Key Gompa is known as the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Spiti Valley , as well as a religious training center for  Lamas. Key Gompa is a three floored building. The bottom floor is mostly underground, and typically used for the storage of items. A well known room within Key Gompa is "The Tangyur" is covered in beautiful murals. Key Gompa was attacked by the Mongols in the 17th century. Due to attacks, Key Gompa was consistently renovated and reconstructed. As a result, there are very narrow corridors throughout the building, and the rooms are small and the stairs are difficult to use. ]]> 2020-11-17 15:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/edestories/x6kyhcztc80se7y9/wish/932196226 Gyeongbokgung palace, Myeongdong 8-gil, Myeongdong 2(i)-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea drosser4 https://padlet.com/edestories/x6kyhcztc80se7y9/wish/932246133 Group: Chase Krisanda and Devin Rosser
