References to Lhasa, as an administrative centre has evolved into the sixth century. In 7, King Sronzsen Gampo officially transferred to Lhasa the capital of Tibet and puts the palace where Potal subsequently appeared.

At the same time, Jokhang and Ramoche temples are being built, where Buddhist relics brought by the wives of Sronzin Gampo are being housed. These temples are now popular objects of religious worship.

Lhasa subsequently lost her capital status, and only in the 1642nd year, at the direction of the Fifth Dalai Lama returned it, and keeps it to date. The Fifth Dalai Lama has done a lot for the city, as evidenced by the current Lhasa identity that has been maintained since then.
