* Namgyal Gompa (also called "Tsemo Gompa" (Red Gompa), or ''dGon-pa-so-ma'' (New Monastery),<ref name="Francke 1914, p. 70">Francke (1914), p. 70.</ref> a temple, is the main Buddhist centre in Leh.<ref>Rizvi (1996), pp. 41, 64, 225-226.</ref> There are some older walls of fortifications behind it which Francke reported were once known as the "Dard Castle." If it was indeed built by [[Dards]], it must pre-date the establishment of Tibetan rulers in Ladakh over a thousand years ago.<ref>Rizvi (1996), pp. 226-227.</ref>

* Sankar Labrang (Bsam dkar bla brang) is a small, two-storeyed building owned by [[Sankar Monastery|Sankar monastery]]. ''"Sankar monastery is the seat of Bakula Rinpoche, immediately to the northwest of Leh. The monastery's Labrang building is located in the old town of Leh, in the Manikhang neighbourhood. Manikhang is the area between the main bazaar of Leh and the historic Stalam path that leads up to the royal palace. Four huge ''stūpas'' standing at this point mark the beginning of historic Leh. In recent memory, the Sankar Labrang had a metalsmith's workshop downstairs, while upstairs lived the monk caretaker of the White Maitreya Temple (Byams khang dkar po), also known locally as "Street Maitreya". The White Maitreya Temple dates back to the reign of King Drakpa Bumd´e (Grags pa 'bum lde, r. ca 1410–1435), following the arrival of a mission sent to Ladakh by the Tibetan lama [[Tsongkhapa]]"''.<ref>Alexander, André, and Van Shaik, Sam.
